-----------
Let's separate these items.
SET DISPLAY or SET TERM BYTESIZE 7 or 8
Color has nothing to do with 7 or 8
it comms channels. Color is set
by CSI 30's and/or 40's m, or in 7-bit form ESC [ 30's and/or 40's m.
The above are in the user's manual and the distribution docs.
If the remote host is sending material in 8-bit form to a client
which is not 8-bit compatible (and VT100's are 7-bit devices) then the high
bit is lost and confusion will result.
I wish to emphasize that VMS knows nothing about "ANSI" terminal
kinds, so please use a kind it does recognize such as the handy VT320
which is an 8-bit terminal kind too.
