SHOW uses the GrayPattern Foreground selected by the last program

After interrupting the Patterns example program around the half of the screen, the digits displayed by the Show command are greyed.

Now, I wonder if this is a bug, in the sense that I want the pattern to be configurable, and Foreground is as good a choice as any.

Either that, or we add a ShowForeground and ShowBackground setting. What do you think is the best?

I find the current situation surprising, as I don't expect SHOW to depend on Foreground nor Background (it took me some time to guess the problem came from interupting the Patterns example). So I certainly wouldn't keep the current situation.

ShowForeground and ShowBackground settings would be adequate, although I don't see what use case there is.
