% echo ^[[32m I should be green^[[0m and now back to normal
The ^[ is the ESCAPE code, or control-[.

1. are SLS 1.01 xterms color xterms?
I am asking because I've been trying all day to get Seyon to take
advantage of my color X windows both locally (the little Seyon button
gizmo) and on my dialup links (say to an IBM color ANSI BBS).
Here's a little list of my problems:
for dialup:
1) I can't change the default terminal colors to black background, white text
or green background, pink text or anything -- I'm stuck with the default
white background, black text. Furthermore, even when connected to
a BBS which under DOS spews gobs of lovely ANSI color, I'm still still
getting plain old black and white. Is this becasue I need color xterms
(or is the standards SLS 1.01 distrib xterm color?) or because
somewhere my configuration is set up incorrectly?
Locally:
2) Seyon seems to not be able to take advantage of the
/usr/X386/lib/app-defaults/Seyon-color file even though I,
per the instructions, added to /usr/openwin/Xdefualts
#ifdef COLOR
*custimization: -color
#endif
which I believed would cause seyon to take notice of the
Seyon-color file. No luck.
Any help would be appreciated,
Ezra
