Field mark delimited list of the mnemonics for the colours used throughout
the system (EG ROG - Red on Green etc).

At load time, COLORS.TABLE is read from the system file. It has many fields,
one for each colour definition to be stored. The first multi-value is the
mnemonic, the second the English language description of the colour setting
and the third the escape sequence required to produce this colour. Note that
when this escape sequence is loaded into @ATTRBT a CHAR(27) is placed at the
beginning of the string and any occurrence of ? would be replaced with a
CHAR(127). Thus a colour definition might be C?1 on file but would be stored
in @ATTRBT as CHAR(27) : "C" : CHAR(127) : "1". Can be amended.
