-----------
Display attributes, the CSI Pn; Pn..; Pn m command, lacks color
information. Read what attributes are being controlled and the matter
should be clearer. The ANSI.SYS TSR for DOS has little relationship with
the comms world. But many of us have used it for color information in lieu
of an acceptable substitute. MS-DOS Kermit v3.14 beta has a command to zap
colors to defaults upon a CSI m; use SET TERM COLOR ? to see, or read the
docs in the beta archive file.
