I am playing with the color schemes that knoppix uses when outputing
message while booting.

CRE=3D"^M^[[K"
NORMAL=3D"^[[0;39m"	#Normal Color
RED=3D"^[[1;31m"		#Failure
GREEN=3D"^[[1;32m"	#Success
YELLOW=3D"^[[1,33m"	#Unused
BLUE=3D"^[[1;34m"		#System Messages
MAGENTA=3D"^[[1;35m"	#Description
CYAN=3D"^[[1;36m"		#Unused
WHITE=3D"^[[1;37m"	#Unused

But I'm failing somewhere.
I tried=20
echo "${BLUE}Hello there.${NORMAL}"

But, it doesn't work.
it comes back=20
echo "^[[1;31mHello there.^[[0;39m

How do I make this work? Obviously I've never used ansi colors before.

Thanks for any input.
