Doing it in console, you can't format it. There are GUI toolkits like 
FXRuby you can checkout or just do a google search for GUI toolkits for 
Ruby. If you do Rails development on MacOSX there is a gem that allows 
you to have your text in different colors for your log file. Being new 
to all this stuff, that may be a bit too much, but just keep it in mind 
if you ever get into Rails development, then hop back on here and ask 
the question again :)
