    Question Colours in console application

    Is there any way of altering the text and/or background colour in a console application.

    I would like to make a title stand out and the best I can do at the moment is capitalisation and underlining.

    Thanks
    Homer

    In a console window? (Which looks like DOS?). I didn't think you could do that...

    Thanks

    Thanks SC, I'll read up and have a play about...

    Magos - by capitalisation I meant upper case and by underlining I meant a line of dashes on th next line.

    Cheers
