You really want to go to the fancy color eterms and stuff docs and check.

<g>

Seriouslier now, standard xterm accepts the -bg and -fg switches for that,
and semistandard color-xterms know about ANSI escape codes. You can do
things like

    /bin/echo -e "\033[33m" Things are looking yellow now.

but most any stray console code that comes after that will reset your
text color.

eterm (which I don't know) might have an option of changing the default
text color on an existing window. xterm can't do this (si erro me mone).
