    You did not specify in just what context you wanted to do this:
email, Web pages, an ftp library, whatever?  Therefore there cannot be
a single answer to your question.  However, if you are talking about
trying to put fancy features in *email*, PLEASE DO NOT DO IT. 
Generally speaking (unless you are restricting your mailings), you have
no control over what kind of hardware and software your mail recipient
is using.  For some combinations of hardware and software, control
codes imbedded in email can cause major problems for the recipient,
sometimes even causing him/her to lose a session.  Please stick to
ordinary, drab text in email.  If your context is something else, then
that's a different matter.
