Hi all:

Is there an easy way (say, using escape and char sequences) to change the colour of only a single "Selection" item of a menu?

e.g. MenuItem1 MenuItem2 MenuItem3

Want ONLY MenuItem2 to be light green and the other two items to stay the default menu colour.

This is pretty awkward, but this is what we tried…

First set up your menu as normal in the MENUS file.

Then, edit the menu, and in the editor, Use the Ctrl-S Option and select ASCII table - this presents a big popup of all the characters -and hit enter over ASCII character 27 to create the Escape character, and then follow it with letter capital C and then two numbers for the foreground and background colors (as per an early AREV technical bulletin - number 4, if I recall)

Now you've effectively imbedded the escape characters in the menu,

though there is some difficulty with the position of characters.

Hope this helps.
