Re: I WANT COLOUR

Re: I WANT COLOUR


To enter the colours in emacs type ctrl q, then ctrl [, this should give
you ^[ Then type [36m So altogether it looks like ^[[36m this makes the text
colour cyan.

The colours are as follows:

        Fore    (cols)  Back            Extras
        Ground          Ground
        ----------------------          -----------------
        30      Black   40              0       Normal
        31      Red     41              1       Bold
        32      Green   42              2       ------
 	33      Yellow  43              3       ------
        34      Blue    44              4       Underline
        35      Magenta 45              5       Flash
        36      Cyan    46              6       ------
        37      White   47              7       Invert
        38      ------  48              8       ------
        39      ------  49              9       ------
                                        22      Bold only off
                                        24      Underline only off
                                        25      Flash only off
                                        27      Invert only off

To do more than one thing at once you need to seperate them by 
semi-colons

ie    ^[[36;5m

 This makes the foreground (or textcolour) cyan and turns the flashing 
on


okay,        

 I hope this is of some use to you.
