+ How to use these colors ('#' means a number as MIRC color code):
+
+ <Ctrl>-b set bold
+ <Ctrl>-c#[,#] set foreground and optionally background color
+ <Ctrl>-o reset all formats to plain text
+ <Ctrl>-v set inverted color mode
+ <Ctrl>-_ set underline
+ <Ctrl>-7 same as <Ctrl>-_
+
+ To reset a mode set it again, f.e.
+ <Ctrl-C>3<Ctrl-V>FOO<Ctrl-V>BAR
+ creates black on green FOO followed by a green on black BAR
