I was wondering how someone would change the color of the text in a Console App? Thanks

That''s a fine reference for DOS.

Basically, assuming you''re using C/C++, there is no standard method for changing text color. You need to use OS and/or compiler specific methods. C didn''t have one because at the time there was no such thing as colored text unless you physically changed the ribbon in your line printer. The C++ designers probably just didn''t think it important enough.

For DOS see above.
For Win32 take a look at GetStdHandle/SetConsoleTextAttribute().
Other systems will have other methods, all different.
