Subject: Re: Change console forground to Red or Green

Thank you everyone for your responses.
Just for the record, so someone looking for a similar solution can
find it, I used the following code:

require 'win32console'
require 'term/ansicolor'

include Win32::Console::ANSI
include Term::ANSIColor
puts red
puts "hello, red world"

# or you can modify the string class itself
class String
  include Term::ANSIColor
end
puts "hello, blue world".blue

(Ruby, Windows Vista 64bit, cmd.exe)
