In C, \033 inside a string means "the ASCII character with octal value 033". In Pascal, \033 instead a string means "\033". Use this instead: writeln(#&033'[31;1;4mHello'#&033'[0m'); Jonas _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
