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.
