changing text color on a button 2

Depends....
If you saved the button as a PSP file and preserved all the layers, delete the text layer and re-create it with the new color.
Or, hide all the other layers and do a "color replace" on the text. This can be a bit tricky and may not produce the results you want.
If all you have is a single layer image (jpg or gif) then I'm pretty sure that your only option is the "color relace" function.
There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

>delete the text layer and re-create it with the new color.
this is what I want to do. How do yo re-create it with the new color?
This is what i did:-
1. I clicked on the Text Tool
2. I highlight the image.
3. Text Entry shows up.
4. I typed in the Text,i.e "Login"
5. I hit apply.
6. How can I change the color here.
7. I right click the text layer but the "Properties" option
is disabled.

What version of PSP are you using? In PSP7 there's a colour picker in the text-entry box.
Incidentally, create your text as a vector - it makes it much easier to change it later.

thank you for the help. Your answers somewhat gave me some clues.
I used PSP 8. I still haven't figured out the direct way
to change the color of the text.
Q:
When the text entry appears, I right click the text entry box and I see two options; Palletes and
Toolbars. I assumed I have to select palletes. What item do I pick from there to select the color? Among them are brush variance, histogram etc.
thx

Set the background color in the color palette to the color you want to use.
