You can set your prompt so that it will change the colors on the screen. All
the information is in the DOS manual but you must put several things together
to get this to work.  First you must use the ANSI.SYS screen driver so in your
CONFIG.SYS file you need 'device=ansi.sys' (or some such thing).  You then
can send escape sequences to the screen driver to change the color of the
characters.  You can send these to your screen via your prompt.  If I had a
manual handy I would give you an example but I don't.   You should look at
the sections on the ANSI.SYS driver and setting your prompt.
