    "Manually."

    I generally use a "fake" "@" operator as a delimiter if I'm using
    color or other modifiers, such as the "@x" in

            fl_addto_browser( browser, "@C3@xmy text goes here." );

    Then I can do something like

            const char *line = fl_get_browser_line( browser, line );
            char *start_of_text = strstr( line, "@x" ) + 2;
            
    to strip off the junk more or less automagically.

    XForms happily ignores the bogus modifier.
