<html><head></head><body>I was actually just going to post exactly that. I just started trying letters starting with a and noticed first, that it wasn't a syntax error and that it changed the text only. <br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Maybe there's a page missing from the help file or something cause anything referring to using a letter to change character colors is certainly not in any help file I've even seen. <br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I remember when I last tried messing with the text colors and it was about ten years ago. At that time I think I remember just giving up but it's nice to finally know exactly how they work. <br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Now I kinda wonder if I can actually get into the help file and modify it or edit it to show the letters associated with the colors, just for future reference. <br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
The help is greatly appreciated <br clear="none">
