Ok Thanks gGreg this is uncommented. But here is what I get, I do get color
thogh.
.$P`.d$P' ,-, $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$,a$n, `$$$%$$$` $$$$`
| `$b,`Y$b, $$$ $$$ $$$ `-' $$$ $$$n ,$$$%$$$, $$P'
' $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$ ,-, $$$ $$$$ ,$$$$% %$$$$,`
| $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$$ ,$$$$$$ $$$$$$,
' $$$$$%P' $$$ $$$ `Y$b,d$$P,$$$n $$P' $$$$$$ $$$$$$ tM!
`#%$%' '%$%#`
I get the codes I guess. I see color and 1/2 of the esc. seq's, Like some of
the colors don't come though. But out of X it looks fine. Just under X It
miss's stuff. the rxvt does the same thing.
