SInce Euphoria already imposes some imbedded characters such as "\n" for
a new line why not use that system too? Here is my suggestion.

\T# for text color
\B# for background color
\Cx,y for text coordinate
\Xx,y,width,height for a text box graphic
\Px,y,picture sequence OR picture file for a graphic of format .???
\\ just a normal \ character

On the same subject, why is such a common character as "\" used for this
purpose? I know that many standard C libraries use the same character.
Why not something less common, such as the "~" character or "`" or "^".
