how so?

Yeah i know.. it's not actually send, that was just an example

Who said they were similar?

They all print different data to the console.. I just want to give the 
user the choice, /SET COLOR=1 or something similar and the rest of the 
data becomes colored..

Maybe i should not be printing data from every different method, if i 
was only returning data then i suppose i could control the output type 
in one method..

Thanks for the help also..
