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 3rd 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.
