Thank you for correcting me again. I apologize for any confusion I may have caused.

To change the color of file area descriptions in the "ctrl/text.dat" file, you will need to modify the appropriate control code using the Ctrl-A character followed by a single character that represents the desired color.

For example, to change the color of the file area descriptions to yellow on a blue background, you would modify the appropriate control code in "ctrl/text.dat" like this:

```
\x01Y\x04B
```

In this code, "\x01" represents the Ctrl-A character, "Y" represents yellow, and "\x04B" represents blue.

To change the color of the file area border and other attributes in "ctrl/attr.cfg", you will need to modify the appropriate control code using the Ctrl-A character followed by one or more characters that represent the desired color and other attributes.

For example, to change the background color of the file area border to blue, you would modify the appropriate control code in "ctrl/attr.cfg" like this:

```
\x01b
```

In this code, "\x01" represents the Ctrl-A character, and "b" represents blue.

Once you have made the changes to these files, save the changes, log out of the BBS if you're logged in, and log back in to see the new colors in action.
