Message-ID: <20011208103416.C33677-100000@mail.radzinschi.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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.
