 Colour.Txt
 ==========
   Isn't ordinary gray text just boring??? Wouldn't you like to put some
   colours to your text lines???

   Well - you can do that, and it is not even difficult!

   All you have to do is to insert a colour code in a text line, and this
   colour code is really easy to make:

   {<foreground>+<background*16>}

   see table#1 for references...

   example of colour code:

   Lightgray (7) and Black (0) background:

   7+(0*16)=7
   {007}
    ^^^ ALWAYS 3 digits...

   14+(1*16)=30
   Yellow (14) on a Blue (1) background:
   {030}

   15+(4*16)+128=207
   White (15) on a Red (4) background with Blinking text (128):
   {207}


   It is easy to calculate the codes (when using a calculator!)

   Table#1
   =======

   Dark Colours:
   (Foreground & Background)
   
   Black         0
   Blue          1
   Green         2
   Cyan          3
   Red           4
   Magenta       5
   Brown         6
   LightGray     7

   Light Colours:
   (Foreground ONLY)
   
   DarkGray       8
   LightBlue      9
   LightGreen    10
   LightCyan     11
   LightRed      12
   LightMagenta  13
   Yellow        14
   White         15

   If you want to use flashing (blinking) foreground then you just add 128
   to the colour code value!

   But because you can have different background colours in the different
   screen layouts you can do so you ONLY change the foreground colour. To do
   this all you have to do is to add 500 to the value of the colour code!

   E.g.
   14+500=514
   Yellow(14) on every background:
   {514}

   Because the original colour also changes from screen layout to screen
   layout you can also reset the colours to the original colours of that
   screen layout. To do this you just write 999 as colour code:

   {999}

   and the colours are reset!
