Color may be changed with the COLOR command.  See p. 8-37 of the AmigaBASIC
manual.

You can also create a raw: window and print any of the ansi commands the
Amiga knows to it.  I did this to get underlining in a VERY simple terminal
emulator.  You can also change color in this window by printing the ansi
commands to change color.  But the raw window may be difficult to work with.
I didn't use it very much or for very long.
