I think it's a great idea to have a few colors to distinguish elements
of the console interface. I wish I had thought of it myself. The
existing external interface makes it easy to add a few colors. I've
attached a proof-of-concept implementation, colorterm.lisp. You can
either do
load("colorterm.lisp");colorterm();
or stick colorterm.lisp in your $HOME/.maxima directory and add the
above line to maxima-init.mac in that directory.
