     Detailed interface description follows.

   Available colors:
	   Green
	   Red
	   Yellow
	   White
     The color parameter is non-case-sensitive (i.e. RED, red, ReD, and all the other forms are valid and are the same as Red).

   colorSet <color>
     Sets the current printing color to color.

   colorReset

     Prints text using the color color indented by indent (without adding a newline).
