My description of the problem as the text colour getting set to white
is probably misleading.  What happens is that incoming text is
invisible, but the cursor still moves around obeying positioning
commands.  Playing with WinQVT's settings for display colours has no
effect.  (In fact, none of WinQVT's settings help.)  However,
if I tell WinQVT to display incoming control characters rather than
execute them, *those* are visible, but ordinary text is still
invisible.
