 DM> I'm not clear why a '\n' should reset any colors at all. <shrug>

I was working on what happens with console.putmsg() vs frame.putmsg().

Take this snippet:

load('frame.js');
console.putmsg('\1h\1Rblack/red\x017\1kgray/black\1nblack/red?');
foo = new Frame(1,4,80,5,BG_BLACK|LIGHTGRAY);
foo.putmsg('\1h\1Gblack/green\x017\1kgray/black\1nblack/green?');
foo.open();
foo.cycle();

It should render 3 pairs of 2 words - the words being the background/forground color.

In the first case (console.putmsg):
* black/red is red text on a black background
* gray/black is black text on a gray background
* black/red? is NOT red text on a black background, but rather gray text on a black ground.

IE: \n appears to have reset the colors to back background with gray text.

In the second case, using frame:
* black/green is in fact green text on a black background
* gray/black is in fact black text on a gray background
* black/green is NOT green text on a black background, but rather black text on a gray background.

IE: \n appears to have reset the foreground color only

(This is prior to the patches I provided you.)

My patch for frame.js that I provided you was to have frame.putmsg be consistent with console.putmsg().

If \n should not reset any colors at all, why does it in this case?
