How do I add colors to my name?

		Colorizing your name works the way you coloring strings in ACS. To colorize a 
		part of your name, simply put:

			\c

		... before that part of your name. Whatever letter you pick (a-i) determines 
		the color of the letters after it. So, say I wanted to make my name red. 
		I'd type (at the console)

			name \cgCarnevil

		Since g is the code for red, that makes my name appear in red. If I wanted the 
		first part in red, and the second in blue, I'd do:

			name \cgCarn\chevil

		Since h is the code for blue, everything after it ("evil") will appear blue. 
		Pretty simple, huh? Anyway, the color codes are:

			a: reddish brick
			b: tan
			c: white
			d: green
			e: brown
			f: gold
			g: red
			h: blue
			i: orange
			j: white
			k: yellow
			l: red
			m: black
			n: sky blue
			o: beige
			p: olive
			q: dark green
			r: dark red
			s: brown
			t: purple
			u: gray


		Go nuts! :) It can also be done when chatting, so enjoy.
