Documentation for COLOR.BAT   [This file must be named COLOR.HLP]

  COLOR.BAT may be used to set foreground and background colors on
  color monitors and set bold (high intensity), normal or reverse on
  any type of monitor. If your system has two monitors, COLOR.BAT will
  make it easier to switch between your monitors (though this requires
  the presence of MODE.COM on the default directory).

  To use this command file, you must boot your system using DOS 2.0
  or higher & must have a CONFIG.SYS file defined on the boot disk
  as well as ANSI.SYS. This CONFIG.SYS file is described in your DOS
  manual but the line that you need in this file is "DEVICE=ANSI.SYS".
  ANSI.SYS must also be on your boot directory (it came with DOS).

  I use the following CONFIG.SYS on my PC:
        line 1: DEVICE=ANSI.SYS
        line 2: BUFFERS=8
 
  If you have done these things, then you may send special escape code
  sequences to your computer which will be interpreted according to
  what IBM considers to be ANSII standard. These escape codes can
  set colors, blink, intensity as well as redefine your keyboard.
  Display the COLOR.BAT file if you want to see the escape codes for
  the different parameters.

  I saw the parent to this command file in a PC-WORLD somewhere back
  in 1983. My appoligies but I did not write down the author's name
  and can't find my old copy. Do not delete this .HLP file (at least
  not the last 22 lines since that is the help used by the command file
  when you type COLOR HELP<enter> or just COLOR<enter>. You may with
  impunity delete all of this garbage. COLOR.HLP must be in the default
  directory if you expect it to be found.

  You should note that COLOR.BAT will reset your system prompt to the
  $p$g sequence. This is good form at any time since what you see is
  the full DOS path to your current directory followed by a greater
  than symbol. I find the PROMPT $p$g sequence essential whenever I
  work on a big disk drive with lots of directories. If you wish to
  have something different, just put your own private version in
  where you see a $p$g.
