The attributes are the colors for the text you want. Each character is 
associated with a color byte. The attributes are set as follows:

	BbbbIfff  : Where each character represents a bit from MSB to LSB.
		     B = blink bit. If this is set, foreground chars blink.
		     b = background attribute.
		     I = foreground intensity.
		     f = foreground attribute.
		     
	Colors are: 0=Black, 1=Blue, 2=Green, 3=Cyan, 4=Red, 5=Magenta
	6 = brn (or yellow if intensity is set), 7 = white.
	
	
Hope this helps.....
