Borders on Text Areas

Hi Folks,
Is it possible to remove the border on a text area or should I be using a different command to display a block of text? The text will not be changed. I tried using a label but the background is grey is it possible to change the colour?
I'm new to this so go easy on me!
Many thanx in advance

Anyone any ideas? Help, Please!

If you want a text without a border, but with a background color you cannot use the label or textarea gadget. You could use the HTMLgadget, but this is a little more complicated since you would have to do some HTML.

I would make a canvas, use clscolor to set the color, and use text to print your characters

Thanks for the advice I will give it a go.
I've been away for a few days so this is the first chance I've had to read your replies.
Thanks again
