At the moment, _but_ we should have a new manual ready for the 4.30 release
- we do have a very large msged.cfg file the a lot of comment (over 40kb)
ready.

This is no longer legal.

well this is the "right" way you tell msged 4.20 and 4.30 about color:

   ----- scheme.001 begins -----
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Sample Msged color scheme
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Color MainNorm     LGrey    _Black
Color MainQuote    Yellow   _Black
Color MainKludge   LBlue    _Black
Color MainInfo     White    _Blue



   ----- scheme.001 ends -----

BTW: it is case insensitiv.
