Terminal Emulation

Color or Monochrome Presentations

Many times programs are developed to work with monochrome monitors or terminals. In this situation you can choose between a color and monochrome presentation. After the graphics mode options are presented the color or monochrome options are presented. The prompt

Do you want ANSI Colors? [Y/N]:

If you want a Color presentation choose "Y". If you want a Monochrome presentation choose "N".

If you do not want to be prompted for the Color or Monochrome presentation each time you log on using a 3^rd party client the you may set an environment variable on a per user basis using Logon Scripting (Page 68). The environment variable for the Color or Monochrome presentation is:

            gwtn_color

For example to select a color presentation you would enter:

            set gwtn_color=1

in the Logon Script for a particular user.

And to select a monochrome presentation you would enter:

            set gwtn_color=0

in the Logon Script for a particular user.
