| I know what you mean, but it is nice to give a good impression to new players.
Admittedly you tend to forget about it, as you never log on as a new player yourself. |

| OK, one last thing. I was attempting to get color into the ANS file so I tried this based on what you said:
^[[1;31m^[[FEAR^[[1;32m^[[
This was an attempt to go from red to green, but instead that's what it showed upon log in, not the colors, just fear with all the jargon around it. What am I doing wrong here?

| The ^[ character you see there is really "escape" (namely hex 1B from memory). It is a bit hard to key into a text editor. You can use vi to get it in (CTRL+V and then Esc) or an editor like UltraEdit, and use Hex mode to enter the 1B.
If you literally type ^[ then you will just see that on the screen. |

| OK, I'm slowly getting this, I think. I got UltraEdit, loaded the ANS file and altered the HEX in the right spots, now it shows this:
\e[1;31mFEAR\e1;32m
ok, the color for red is "\e[1;31m" and the color for green is "\e[1;32m". the little boxes represent the 1B I changed in the HEX. Now when you log in in shows this:
e[1;31mFEARe1;32m
I don't get it..

For a start, you have left off a square bracket, it should be:
e[1;31mFEARe[1;32m
However also the "e"s should be Esc, since you are seeing "e" it hasn't been entered properly, for some reason. I tried doing that exact thing using vi (type Ctrl+V Esc to enter an escape) and it worked, the word FEAR came out in red.
You can check it out in UltraEdit "hex" mode. If you have Cygwin, try hexdump, like this:
hexdump -C ../system/mudtitle.ans
