   Hmmm, there must be something more:

$ echo -e "^[[31m        _,met\$\$\$\$\$gg."
^[[31m        _,met$$$$$gg.
$ /bin/echo -e "^[[31m        _,met\$\$\$\$\$gg."
^[[31m        _,met$$$$$gg.
$ echo $TERM
xterm

   Same thing on the console. I know "^[" represents an escape character
but all I have is '^' followed by '['. I doubt echo supposed to pick up
on it and convert it to an escape character. I also tried on the console
(TERM=linux) but same thing there.
   Bouuuh, I want nice pictures tooo ;-)

   Btw, the standard black and white version is already very impressive.
