Would it or is it possible to have some important lines copied to another window that could remain in the background and preserve the coloration of these.. even when colored by a trigger or script.

You can use a trigger with "send to notepad" to copy certain lines to another window, however the notepad is pure text and will not keep colours.

The other thing you can do is go the Window menu and select "New Window" - this will open a second window to the world (including colours) that you can scroll back and leave in a different spot than the main window, however it will have all the same text in it. This can be handy if you want to look at something (eg. a map) in one window (which you can pause), while playing the game in the other window.

I haven't tried this, but I was thinking about a similar problem recently. It might be possible to use the Perl/Tk modules to write output to graphical widgets using Perlscript. I don't have my references with me, but you could probably control the color, font, and so on in any such widgets.
