I second this, as the info/knowledge on how to change font in a shell
would be most welcomed by me, as it would open up a lot of opportunities
o do various wild, interesting things. I agree, though, with the 
responders consensus on a script (with e/x flag set) being the most
easonable and elegant solution, whereas a C version would be much
harder(of course, a c program that simply executed the corresponding\
commands wouldn't count).

Hi, anyway. I guess this ought to hang out in .programmers, but whenver
somebody approached this subject there, nothing happened.
