Yeah!  But the easiest way for me to explain it would be to tell you to get a 
program called TheDraw/Acid Draw (if you have DOS).  If you don't have DOS then 
use a search engine to find some kind of ANSI Drawer for your system!  ANSI is 
what you are talking about!  ANSI is color ASCII!  It's a whole lot better than 
just plain ASCII, but it crashes many systems!  Anyway, after you have TheDraw 
or whatever go into it and make an ANSI picture or something & save it!  Then 
edit the file you just saved & all those [1;30m, [0m, [255D, etc. things you see
with the arrow in front of them are what causes the color & various other 
things!  Experiment with them!  It's a lot of fun!
