TOPIC: ansi

You should only turn on ANSI mode if your terminal or terminal emulator program
supports the ANSI escape sequences.

Use "eset ansi <color>" to turn on ANSI mode, setting your default color to
<color> (see list of valid colors at the bottom of this help file).  If no
color is given, it will default to "normal", which is sometimes unacceptable,
but adequate in most cases.  You might want to try something such as "normal
white on black", or "normal black on white".

In ANSI mode, your health points will be displayed in colors to help you
determine how high/low you are.  Several other places also use colors to
highlight certain things.  In addition to these uses, there are other displays
which can be configured to display in certain colors.  These are listed below.

ADDITIONAL ITEMS THAT CAN BE CONFIGURED...

Your channels can be set to various colors.  For example, if you want your tell
channel to be bright green, use "eset tell bold green".  If you want it to be
bright yellow and blinking and send a beep, simply "eset tell bold yellow blink
beep".  There are 2 shades of every color; one "bold" and one "normal".  So if
you wanted your team channel to be the darker shade of magenta, you would just
"eset team normal magenta".  Valid channel names are found in the display of 
the "channels" command, and the special "say" channel is also valid.

  heals: the "heals" command's display
  room-shorts: all rooms' short descriptions

   reconnect-notification: these are the colors that the corresponding events
                           will be displayed in (see "help login"); each event
                           will default to login-notification color if that
                           event isn't set with its own color
  armageddon-rewards: color that armageddon reward text will be displayed in
  group-highlight: color that group controllers are displayed in when looking
                   at the members of a group via the "group" command (the 
                   default, if you have "ansi" set, is bold white)
 *commands: color that command words use in room/item descriptions
 *items: color that items you can look at will appear in (in rooms)

* = supports a special color called "capitalize", which puts the text in all
    capital letters (this is the default for players without "ansi" set).
