st: -meta- command: how do I change the background color

[Jonathan Sterne <Jonathan.Sterne@bristol.ac.uk>]

The meta command uses prehistoric (version 6) graphics and is redundant. 
Eve should download the metan command (ssc install metan, replace), which 
has extensive graphics facilities. The help file contains several clickable 
examples.

Best wishes
