   Most or all of those are "mnemonics" strings (they appear in the text.dat with   
   tildes, ~, before each command key) and the color for mnemonics is controlled   
   via the ctrl/attr.ini settings we already discussed.   
      
   I changed that one line in that one file and all those prompts are now magenta   
   on my BBS:   
   mnelow            = M                                   Mnemonic Prompts Low
