You should get the word hello printed in blue if your terminal supports color.
thanks for your help... and I applogize for my late response...
okay, I did what you told me to do... and yes the word "hello" did appear in blue... and my prompt changed to a very light grey.
mind you ... I did this from my freebsd console in KDE... I dunno if that makes a difference.
