I would probably do this:

const fg = ['green', 'white', 'white', 'yellow'];
const bg = ['black', 'black', 'blue', 'black'];
const colors = console.getnum(4, 1) - 1;

bbs.exec(
 'frotz '
 ...
 + '-f ' + fg[colors]
 + '-b ' + bg[colors]
 ...
);

Where 'fg' and 'bg' are arrays of strings. If the user hits '4', fg[3] and bg[3] would be used, so the user would get yellow-on-black, and so on. (If I'm understanding your goal properly.)

Not sure. Try \x014 instead of \14 and see if it helps.
