[R] printing to the console in color

[Prof Brian Ripley]

If this is RGui on Windows, no.  It supports only two colours of text 
(which you can set in the preferences dialiog box).

More generally, you send the appopriate escapes to your console to change 
colour, and the console/terminal documentation will tell you what those 
are.
