   Ok, I've not played with ANSI sequences much - but dug out the trusty
   "Using MS-DOS Kermit" text (both for the sequences and the ASCII tables)
   to tackle today's problem.

   I'm adding a "diskquota display" to our menu system and would like to
   have the "you're over your quota, delete files now" message come up in
   red.  No problem - "ESC[0;31m DELETE FILES ESC[0m", right?  Now, on the
   DECterm I use it's a RED DELETE and back to normal colors.  Kermit (in
   both 3.13 and 3.14) doesn't reset to the original colors with that ANSI
   sequence, although the text appears to indicate that it will.

   Any idea on this one?  Is it a Kermit problem or simply my own bit of
   ANSI newbie-dom showing (in which case there's a better sequence for
   resetting colors, right?  :^)
