Instead of (or better still, as well as) the letters for colours, ie b, b+, n, w+ etc.. how about numbers: 0-15 for black, blue...through to white.

Also, I would like to be able to retreive colour information from the screen. Ie, the reverse of the AT and COLOR commands: Instead of just AT'ing to (1,1) and setting the COLOR, I would like to GET the current colour and even the current character on the screen at that position.

This would make it easier for me to move text around on the screen without having to re-draw it. (yes, related to the adventure game...)

thanks,
