The Terminal Manager can support terminals that support ANSI-style attribute handling. This style allows for independent setting of the background and foreground colors and does not interfere with the setting of other video attributes such as underlining. Color terminals that meet these criteria can enable color by adding entries to turn on the various foreground and background colors. Use the following table of attribute codes to set the correct color entries; if your terminal has fewer than eight colors, you should still make all eight entries for both foreground and background, repeating colors as necessary:
| Foreground | Background | Color |
|---|---|---|
| C1 | B1 | Black |
| C2 | B2 | Blue |
| C3 | B3 | Green |
| C4 | B4 | Cyan |
| C5 | B5 | Red |
| C6 | B6 | Magenta |
| C7 | B7 | Brown |
| C8 | B8 | White |
Terminal definitions for color terminals do not need the RV, RB, and RU entries, because the Terminal Manager sends the appropriate foreground and background color codes instead.
