How can I do this? Is there a sequence= of characters that I can put into a message that will change the backgr= ound of the rest of the message (or until a similar sequence is encounte= red) to the color designated by this sequence, and if so, what is the color/sequence relationship? Similarly for foreground (i.e., the characters) color. uname -a FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #0: Sat Apr 21 10:54:49 GMT 2001 jkh@narf.osd.bsdi.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386
