Speaking of misspelled rogues, welcome to the discussion, Simone.  :)

Yes, after I sent that, I realized what I'd done but alas! it was too late!
I have not found a way to color scripts, but I know it can be done - else
the rouge script problem would not be an issue and we could all begin
putting . into our paths.  A friend of mine said that to color a script you
could use a highlighter on the actual terminal screen.  But I suspect that
would have *fading* effect, and it is a practice I don't advise.  

I don't believe rouge to be a primary color, so I suppose that the technique
applies to all colors.  All I can say is that once one of them is executed,
the first effect is that your face takes on the same color (or even colour,
if you like) as the script.  Then things get worse.

YMMV
