Coloring the shell

Coloring the screen in shellscripts is very much like doing so in batch files (.bat). Maybe even equal. The idea is to use 'echo -e "\033[..."'. The -e enable interpretation of backslash-escaped characters. \NNN is the ascii char whose code is NNN octal. We want an 'escape' 033octal... Then, after [ we place the ansi control code the video will interpret. To color, just writer 3x or 4x where x is the color number. Anyway, run this code that you will understand and it is nice.

The code came from here. I just added some comments and tests.

Enought to start playing.
