'ANSI color printing example 1

'The screen must be opened as a file for output and printed to.
'BASIC's PRINT statement prints directly, thus bypassing ANSI.SYS.
'
'Another point to note: A standard (of your choosing) must be
'established when combining various ANSI options.  The order of the
'colors and highlighting codes is unimportant, so long as the sequence
'begins with the escape and ends with the 'm' and is separated by a
';'.
'The standard chosen below is to insert the highlighting codes between
'the escape and the colors, with the colors containing the 'm'
'parameter, and the highlighting codes containing the ';' separator.
'Your milage may vary.
