If you look up the %ansi function in the help files, you will see that you can specify additional attributes other than the base color. Such as foreground/background, bright, blinking, and reverse. In your case you would use %ansi(high,red).

Thnx, but it doesn't work in zMUD 4.62 8))
Well.. or i need another command.
As i remember, it was somewhere in options — what kind of color (dimbright) do you want to use in status window, but i'm not quite sure.
Finally i didi find out how too display one bright color, but if i want to display two — no way8)))))
any other suggections?:)

First suggestion is to mention that you need help with the old unsupported version in the first place.
Second suggestion upgrade.

I don't expect that somebody _will_ help me:))))))))
i thought that it's possible, nothing else/

second suggestion wasn't perfect, as zMUD version is greater, as slowermore bugsetcetcetc:-)
course language definetly becoming better & more flexible, but other things... brrr... especially design... :)

Slower? Have you seen the benchmark tests for the latest version? Also, it's been a long time since I used 4.62 so I can't compare it in stability, but 6.62 is very stable.

Anyway, chances are that if what Carabas suggested doesn't work in 4.62, then you may not be able to do it. You could also try using numbers instead of names, but I have no way of testing.

well, i did compare it, and install zMUD 6.15 or 6.16, can't remember already:)))
result was pretty bad — part with coding in latest zMUD is useful, little bit cmoplextoo much staff which u don't really need to know, but definetly useful:)
design - brr:)
pretty big problem with inheritance of code from zMUD 4.62, some flags (!!!) working differently in latest versions (Verbatim? can't remember8))
etc///

Anyone remember, where are options for colors of different windows? (status etc/)

Answer not for my version of this program still will be ok:)
thnx:)

Did you try looking in the preferences? I have no idea where to even get 4.62 much less what to do inside, but in the 6.x series it always had a menu option to get you to specific preferences sections and there was a big button on the toolbar that said...Preferences. Assuming this is the same for both version series, a window then popped up with a list of categories on the left, one of which was Color.

I did, it looks like everything ok.
Only problems:
how to set current color to default one
for example
#stw (this is default color, %ansi(white) this is white color,
%ansi(Know idea what to write down here;) this is default color)

anyway, what i have found is looks like enough/
One bad thing, there is no forum with old discussions of zmud 4.62:)))))))))

Don't know if it works in 4.62, but try %ansi(default)
