Hi, I'm currently using Telix 3.11 (_slick_ pacakge), and I am wondering if there is any way one can change the underline color in ANSI-BBS or VT100 mode. Currently, it is dark blue, which is _very_ hard to read on a black background (it seems that whenever I do a 'rn', it displays all the news, and all output hence in light gray on black, no matter what colors I have it configured for) Also, Is there anyway to strip the cr's off of an ASCII upload?? I write C programs w/ an editor offline (still haven't gotten used to vi), and then upload it here via ASCII, but for some reason Telix always adds an extra cr at the end of each line... Any help would be appriciated... Dave -- davek@lakesys.lakesys.com -or- uunet!marque!lakesys!davek "The meek will inherit the earth, the rest of us will go to the stars" -- 'Omni' (magazine) button

Telix isn't adding the extra characters. Most likely you're seeing
an artifact of the different line-end codes used by a PC vs. Unix.
The PC family expects a CR and LF at the end of a line. Unix
uses a single LF as a newline character. If you transfer a text
file in either direction, you may run into trouble unless you convert
the newline codes to the appropriate ones. Some programs
(Kermit, NCSA Telnet) do that automatically for text files.
Others (Sun PC-NFS) rely on supplied utility programs.
