+                                         Hello.  This is a demonstration of the
+                                         task program color capabilities coming
+                                         in version 1.9.
+
+task color                               The color command shows the various
+                                         supported colors.  For this you will
+                                         need an xterm with 256-color support,
+                                         or an equivalent.
+
+                                         This demo uses iTerm running on Snow
+                                         Leopard.
