I was wondering--how do you put colors and bold text into Pine documents?

Thanks,

Not at all. Period. There are ways to do that, but that kind of stuff is
unnecessary, annoying and potentially fatal for many users on
text-terminals.

Any further questions?

Cheers,
Robin

	You can put control characters if you select vi ass your editor
	(some how :) ). 

	Still, why would you want to put control characters *anyway* ?
