Paul,
Ummm, VT220's are real terminals and not computers. They have
no concept of foreground/background. There is no VT220 control sequence
to do fore/background. Emulators of VT220 emulate that terminal. Even
the concept of fore/background is extremely operating system dependent.
Consequently, you are looking at someone's hack into an emulator.
