I forgot xyouts can use text arrays...
How about -
loadct,33
a=['Dies','ist','ein','Test']
xyouts,.1,.5,'.',charsize=-1 ; move the 'cursor', don't write anything
xyouts,a+' ',color=findgen(4)*80
it saves having to count the blank spaces :-)

Dear Richard,
there where much more posting about this. And you can write yourself
a small procdure to make it easier.
Number 15 from 2002-Apr-23
tek_color
text=['Dies',' ist',' ein',' Test']
xyouts,0.5,0.5,text,color=[0,5,2,3,4]
You need as much blanks as letters for each word.
This could be done by strlen.
This is the address of the complete thread

Describe your statement a bit more. What did you mean by google doesn't
allow to restart old newsgroup threads?
I am able to read articles from 1991 (more than 10 years)
