done. You'll have to make distclean as I added two new standard parser
opts for color= and bgcolor=.

d.histogram map=elevation.dem bgcolor=180:216:220
d.out.file histelev form=ps -r

While clearing the screen I couldn't erase the frame's d.save history
too, as that would clear the font setting in the PNG and PS drivers. :-/
(for d.out.file)

I forgot about d.polar.
