However, since you _did_ get colors when you tried it, it clearly supports more than just vanilla vt100 attributes. So perhaps there are other TERM types that might actually do what you want; you might try, for instance, "xterm", or "linux", both of which are vaguely like a vt100 but support color. [Of course maybe the docs for you program actually say what the true terminal type should be!] -miles -- Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us. -- Jerry Garcia
