What are the control codes?  I'd like to make some color ascii pictures myself, 
but I don't know what codes to use.  Any help or ftp site would be appreciated. 
 
No, I will not put them into my Subject and screw up other people's terminals 
on the Internet.  I know how you feel, because I've had problems myself, with 
those color, blinking, etc. codes.

Thanks,
