! The curses library also supports colour on those terminals that
  provide it, The most common such terminal is probably the Linux
! console, followed by colour xterms.
  
! To use colour, you must call the \function{start_color()} function
  soon after calling \function{initscr()}, to initialize the default
! colour set (the \function{curses.wrapper.wrapper()} function does this
  automatically).  Once that's done, the \function{has_colors()}
  function returns TRUE if the terminal in use can actually display
! colour.  (Note from amk: that curses uses the American spelling
! 'color', instead of the Canadian/British spelling 'colour'; if you're
  like me, you'll have to resign yourself to misspelling it for the sake
  of these functions.)
  
! The curses library maintains a finite number of colour pairs,
! containing a foreground (or text) colour and a background colour.  You
! can get the attribute value corresponding to a colour pair with the
  \function{color_pair()} function; this can be bitwise-OR'ed with other
  attributes such as \constant{A_REVERSE}, but again, such combinations
  are not guaranteed to work on all terminals.
  
! An example, which displays a line of text using colour pair 1:

! As I said before, a colour pair consists of a foreground and
! background colour.  \function{start_color()} initializes 8 basic
! colours when it activates colour mode.  They are: 0:black, 1:red,
  2:green, 3:yellow, 4:blue, 5:magenta, 6:cyan, and 7:white.  The curses
! module defines named constants for each of these colours:
  \constant{curses.COLOR_BLACK}, \constant{curses.COLOR_RED}, and so
  forth.
  
  The \function{init_pair(\var{n, f, b})} function changes the
! definition of colour pair \var{n}, to foreground colour {f} and
! background colour {b}.  Colour pair 0 is hard-wired to white on black,
  and cannot be changed.  
  
! Let's put all this together. To change colour 1 to red
  text on a white background, you would call:
