Saluton!

You set a color to black, blue, brown, cyan, green, magenta, red, or
white. The rest is done by setting bold. For more information please
consult 'man 4 console_codes' or take a look at my ecma48sgr module
available at

http://members.lycos.nl/linux/soft/ruby/ecma48svgr-module.html

I would have preferred to send this off-topic using private mail but
'deliriousNOSPAM@atchoo.be' looks too non-existent to me. It is no
problem if you make an address invalid but *please* 

 - clearly state *if* you did and
 - tell what to do to make address valid again.

I don't want to have to do wild guesses...
