I have just begun using the ansi.sys driver on my pc/at with
basic color monitor and color/graphics board.
(Using
	prompt $e[33;40m
	prompt $p$g
does the trick.)
This works well for specifying screen colors when in DOS.
When I enter the "simterm" communications program*,
the first few lines (prolog) are displayed in my specified colors,
but then everything else is white on black.  When I exit simterm,
my dos text comes out fine in the right colors.  I tried having
simterm write the ansi escape sequence to turn on colors
(e.g., esc [ 33 ; 40 m), but simterm interprets this as a home-brew
escape sequence.  Any ideas on how to|` get color in simterm?
