Well, drat.
Oh well, at least I know I can quit looking for a way to do that now. And
the color name was the next one I was gonna ask. Hmm. I bet I can do
something on the server to get the ability to define things like that
(m4, perl, and php all spring to mind). Now I just need to figure out
whether it's worth the effort.
Thanks, Eric.
