use of colors on screen

[Craig Tooker]

Possible but convoluted.

You must edit the screen with all the color attributes you wish on a 
Windows installation of filePro and then transfer the screen to your *ix 
installation.  Then it will render the screen colors just fine.

You could alternately write a program to edit the attributes within the 
screen file - the format for the screen file is on the fpTech web site.

Your termcap file must, of course, support color.

I reviewed the color info on fptech help but can't see how to toggle to a different color.  I run fp 5.0.13 on Centos 5.  They use kermit95 to hit the box.
