  SYNTAX:  see below

Three Kingdoms now has color that can be used by players if they
so desire.  It is also fully configurable by each and every player.
This is done with two commands: 'ansi' and 'aset'.
Please be aware, however, that ansi won't work for characters under
level five.

NOTE: Instead of using aset you can also use 'setcolor'which
uses the exact same syntax and does the exact same thing.
Also, 'mudansi' can be substituted for the 'ansi' command.

If you wish to use color the first thing you will need to do is
type 'ansi on'.
The ansi command supports the following syntax:

ansi on          Enables configurable ansi.  If it is disabled
                 none of your ansi settings will be used but they
                 aren't lost.  They're still saved and will be
                 used as soon as you type ansi on.
ansi full        This is just like ansi on except the entire line(s)
                 are coloured.  Not just part of it.
ansi off         Disables configurable ansi settings.  This is
                 useful if you find yourself on a terminal that
                 doesn't support ansi.  Instead of wiping all your
                 settings merely disable them instead.
ansi wipe        Removes ALL of your ansi settings
ansi default     Installs the default color scheme
ansi colors      Display all your standard colors, what they look
                 like on your monitor and what their settings are.
                 These colors can be used with the set command
                 (see below).
ansi fix         Restores color settings (not your configurable aset
                 variables) to their ANSI default
ansi [color]     Shows the value of a specific color.
                 like on your monitor and what their settings are.
                 These colors can be used with the set command
                 (see below).
ansi fix         Restores color settings (not your configurable aset
                 variables) to their ANSI default
ansi [color]     Shows the value of a specific color.
ansi [col] [val] Changes the value of one of you standard colors.
                 Red or whatever may have a different value on your
                 terminal so this can be useful.

Certain commands and output has been specifically set up to be
colored.  This is done by setting certain variables.  Variables
go in pairs.  There is always a prefix variable and a suffix
variable.  The prefix variable is used to turn color on and the
suffix is used to turn it off.  Prefix variables end in _pref (eg
tell_pref) and suffix variables end in _suff (eg tell_suff).

On most peoples terminals the color 'reset' will turn off ansi.  If
not I suggest you find out what code does and then type 'ansi reset
.  Please direct any comments, bug reports or problems to Raven.
