	I company for which I work has assigned me the task of finding
a source of colour dumb ASCII terminals.  We have looked at the
Wyse-350, but think it's a real loser.  It only allows black characters
on colour background, or the reverse of that, instead of colour on
colour.  Additionally it uses 'magic cookies' to control this (i.e. a
coloured space must preceed and follow a string of characters that
appear in a different colour from that of its neighbors). The price is
high, but possible ($2195 Cdn.).

	Does anyone know of another source for a dumb terminal that handles
colour?  The only other one I know of is the DEC vt340-colour, which does
graphics as well, and is accordingly priced out of consideration ($4600 Cdn.).

	Please reply by mail. I'll summarize later.

						Thanks in advance,
