So, um...with this setup, how can I let the user make all 'gossip' text
blue-green, but all 'say' text purple?  (And have another person
have yellow gossip and black say output??)

How can I let the client know the difference between a PC description
and a room description.

Note that my entire design assumes that the client/user knows how
to display the info, and so the server only has to present the info
in a format that allows the client to make the correct distinctions
between different classes of information.

Enjoy,
Ben
