doing the search/replace way takes minutes flat but if you want certain colors
in certain places then you have to hard code it by hand. theres no way to
assign them to those places. for ex. if i want a y color in one place it will
be in other places but if i say y here and c here then it works. not a real
ex.butpretend example ; /1cthis /1y@bbs@ /1chas shut down for maintenance.
