Also Alejandro's escape sequences do not work for me. \e[00;30m gives me black text on a white background (i.e. no change) and \e[01;30m gives me light-grey text on a white background. 01 is Bold, so according to Alejandro that should give me white (text), but it gives me light-grey.
My mistake. I spoke from the top of my head, as you see in the code listing I sent yesterday, White is actually \e[01;37m. Barry Buchbinder's explanation is far clearer than anything I would be able to come up with. Hope that it gets you on your way.
Cheers
Alejo
