Hi Pierre,

The following should work:
> + say_color 9 "error: $*"
By the way, where do the 9 here and the 10 and the -1 below come from ? "man 5 terminfo" says that only values form 0 to 7 are portably defined. Maybe 9 is a bold red and 10 a bold green, or something like that, but it doesn't seem to work on my konsole.
Anyway, perhaps having:
_red=1 _green=2
and then using "say_color $_red stuff" might be easier to understand and change if needed.
Thanks for this good idea, Christian.
