Subject: Physical colour numbers

I went on this diversion as I was implementing parameter passing
and restoring (PROC/FN and ENDPROC/=) in PDP BASIC and when putting
together some test code thought of a demo to set the text colours on
an ANSI terminal: http://mdfs.net/PDP11/BBCBasic/blog

So, I've continued with what I implemented for the Spectrum which
followed on from DOS text mode colours:

  7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
  | | | | | | | +---red
  | | | | | | +-----green
  | | | | | +-------blue
  | | | | +---------bright
  | | | +-----------flash
  | | +-------------underline \ I may end up swapping
  | +---------------inverse   / these two around
  +-----------------background
