Thanks, Rick. After reading your message I immediately lugged the PB 
outside and gave it a shot. No luck!

Inside, boosting the contrast with that control does seem to whiten 
the white background of documents. Outside, it appears to have no 
effect on the white background ... in fact small increments have no 
discernable effect, large increments just seem to convert some of the 
black UI elements to white (not text though ... just things like the 
lines dividing email subject lines in Eudora.)

I appreciate the reminder though of that contrast slider there. 
Forgot about it. I use the zoom function a lot for training.
