ms fix for powershell

I simply pasted their first suggestion - this - into powershell and it seems okay now:

---

Set-PSReadLineOption -Colors @{
    #Use a ConsoleColor enum
    "Error"   = [ConsoleColor]::DarkRed

    #24 bit color escape sequence
    "String"  = "$([char]0x1b)[38;5;100m"

    #RGB value
    "Command" = "#8181f7"
}

though I'm not 100% sure because the white background I set is still there. But the yellow is gone, that's for sure.

This is a later edit. I've come back and tried to put all that into a code block instead of just the first line but I can't figure out how to do it.

Point is you must put all the code between the curly braces in and the #tagged lines are comments. Unfortunately the comments and code are all on the same line and I can't fix it. The comment finishes where the " " text begins.

Would have been simpler if I'd taken the comments out I guess. Anyway.. June 2019, this is the only technique that worked for me.

p.s. I now find the fix doesn't work after closing down. When I restart I have to do it again.
