tweaking the stats box

Hello,
I am looping through a list of pads drawing histograms with the loop

for( i=0 ; i<9 ; i++ ) {
p1->cd(i+1);
h[8-i]->Draw();
//gPad->GetListOfPrimatives()->FindObject("stats")->SetTextColor(kBlue);
}

When the line is commented out, everything works as expected.
When I include the line, the macro fails on that line. I tried breaking
the line into 2 smaller lines by explicitly decalring a TPaveText pointer
and getting the stats box and then getting at the text in a second line.
That did not work either. Also, is there a shortcut to get at the stats
box? I didn't see a TPad::GetStatsBox() member function, or something
along that line, in the class guide.

Thanks in advance,

Chris
