Further to my email of yesterday concerning the problem
of disappearing color in tty mode. It seems that this
is a feature of Windows itself. Whenever the console is
sent a carriage return character followed by a new line
character it clears the color attributes of the current
line (unless the cursor is on the bottom line of the
screen). The following code seems to get around this
problem.
