RE: Map text colour
Have you tried using a CHR$ control code before the text?

I don't have a list handy, but control codes work with most text applications. IIRC, they are hard coded into your BIOS/CMOS. Most programs use them instead of creating a whole new set of tables from scratch. Reinventing the wheel isn't something programmers enjoy as a rule of thumb. Control codes can be turned off, but it just adds another thing that can go wrong so it isn't good system design most of the time.
I'm about 4 tuns behind so I don't have time to experiment, otherwise I would. Plus I have several maps about half or so done and December 1 is creeping up on me.
