Whilst you're at it, why oh why was the name COLOURS.CTX chosen for the
file containing these settings?   It's *really* aggravating to me,
because I use an editor (SEDT, a PC implementation of DEC's famous EDT
editor) which retains context files for each edit performed.  From time
to time, I'll decide to clear out *.CTX in various directories: bang goes
my colour configuration.  Since the file defines a *configuration*, would
it not have been more appropriate had the file type extension been .CFG?
