        !            12: This sample also functions as a console window text color
        !            13: setting utility.  The command syntax for the utility is as
        !            14: follows:
        !            15: 
        !            16:      COLOR FOREGROUND [BACKGROUND]
        !            17: 
        !            18: where FOREGROUND and BACKGROUND are the new text color
        !            19: selections for the current console.  If the utility is
        !            20: invoked without any options, the utilities syntax and a
        !            21: table of the possible color choices is displayed.  The
        !            22: BACKGROUND selection is optional and thus the FOREGROUND
        !            23: text color may be soley changed.

        !            25: Possible colors are: BLACK, BLUE, GREEN, CYAN, RED, MAGENTA,
        !            26: YELLOW and WHITE.  Each of these can be selected as the
        !            27: FOREGROUND or the BACKGROUND color.  Selection of the same
        !            28: color for both the FOREGROUND and the BACKGROUND is not
        !            29: permitted.  The color options are not case sensitive and
        !            30: only the first unique characters are necessary to select the
        !            31: color.  For example:
        !            32: 
        !            33:      COLOR BLU W
        !            34: 
        !            35: will select BLUE on WHITE text color attributes.
        !            36: 
        !            37: The text color attribute changes will only affect new
        !            38: console output.  Thus, text in the console buffer before the
        !            39: utility is invoked will retain their original color
        !            40: attributes.
