Hello:

	I set CLICOLOR so that ls would output commands in color, and set
the TERM type to xterm-color.  In Putty, this works as it should, giving
me colorized directory listings.

Using Windows 2000's telnet program, however, the color from the last item
seems to "spill over" to the command prompt.  For example, if the last
file listed was in blue, then the command prompt, and subsequent text will
be in blue.

Is this behavior due to the Win2k telnet client, or did I set something
wrong?

I am not sure what is causing it, since I can use the Win2k telnet client
to log into a Linux machine, and the colorized ls output does not cause
this.

Any suggestions welcome.
