- Say "my friend" uses a number of different X terminals. Some
- are Black and White, some greyscale, some color. How does he get the
- color terminals to use color while making sure the B&W terminals get
- only black & white? I would think that one could write a script to
- look up the hostname in some list you had made, but in this case there
- are many many terminals. Is there any enviroment variable-like entity
- that would tell you?
-
- Thanks in advance, I did look at the faq.
