C64 screen border colour change command.

Could have sworn it was something like SCREEN X,Y...
I guess it's been longer than I thought... Can anybody tell me the BASIC command and/or location (poke) to change the screen border colour?
Thanks.

On the C64, the border colour can only be changed with a poke, e.g:
POKE 53280, 0
Location 53281 holds the background colour, fwiw.
BTW, if you're mainly interested in the Commodore 64, check out

I confess I only own a c-128, but does the 64 not have the 'color #,#' command?

Nope. As MacbthPSW wrote, the background and border colours can only be changed with pokes. There are 3rd party add-ons for BASIC (like Simon's BASIC) that add colour control commands.
