Why did Michael take out the extended SethANSI codes in 4.07? :(

`B would cause text to blink red
`Y would cause text to blink yellow

It was cool to have this esoteric knowledge and to be able to surprise
people with something different. . .

The only PROBLEM, & I suppose it's why they were removed, was when
people didn't know to end their text with a `0 code to change the text
back to bright-green on a black background, unblinking, because when the
code was left as blinking, ALL the screens were blinking and hard to
read (unless one clear-screened their terminal!) :P

All Michael had to do was to have every line automatically reset back to
`0 as the ANSI code in effect in the flowers! :)
