Date: 16 Feb 1996 21:38:25 GMT Organization: APANA in Melbourne, Australia Lines: 24 Message-ID: <4g2tgi$lvn@preeda.internex.net.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: dialin-12.connexus.apana.org.au Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.6 Howdy, all... Just installed tcsh Ok and I was wondering if there's a way to enable colour somehow within the tcsh? Using the cons25 terminal type, on the virtual terminals, with the standard csh, I was able to embed escape sequences in my prompt string (in .login, say) and I'd be able to get colour prompts. ...but it doesn't seem to be possible to do this when using tcsh. I've had a look through the man pages but there doesn't seem to be anything relevant there (then again, I don't really know what I'm looking for - I'm new to Unix sys admin). I thought there might be something about ANSI sequences or something but I couldn't find anything :( Any suggestions? Thanks a heap. John
