This week, it's something similar but different. If you will recall I was asking about the escape strings that you need to use to change terminal colors. First I want to thank everyone for their input. It works great. However, I've got another question now. Suppose I want to do the same thing on a system using SYSCON? I can get it to echo the colors, but I can't get them to stay. My guess is that the syscon driver isn't allowed to accept escape sequences that will change anything (think of this as protection against ANSI bombs). Under PCVT you can enable an option to allow you to do this. Is there a similar option for syscon? As always thanks in advance and have a Happy Thanksgiving. --Jerry 8) Jerry Alexandratos % - % "Nothing inhabits my (8 8) alexandr@louie.udel.edu % - % thoughts, and oblivion (8 8) darkstar@strauss.udel.edu % - % drives my desires."
