[Newbies] Re: Colored text in a Transcript?

[Bert Freudenberg]

No, Transcript does not support colored text. It uses a string  
internally - what you see on screen is only the view, whereas the  
Transcript (an instance of TranscriptStream) is only the model.

Of course, with a bit of effort, TranscriptStream *could* be made to  
use a Text internally. See attachment ;-)
