Hi...

	Just downloaded and compilled (and installed) ncurses 1.9.4 and 
am curious about something...what should I be setting the console to?  I 
had assumed that setting it to cons25 was proper, since it seems to be 
the default when I login as root, but I'm not getting anything from 
ncurses that I would have expected...
	
	...color.

	After compiling, I went in and played with the test programs.  
Nothing comes up "graphical/colorful".  

	Now, it seems to compile and install cleanly, and I got 
lynx-2.4.2 compiled using it, and that works, but I would have assumed 
that the test programs would work as well.

	Its not a major problem, but would like to know if I'm doing 
something wrong here as far as term settings are concerned.

Thanks...
