Is there any way of using the colors on a DEC VT340 terminal without
entering Regis mode? We have a client that would rather use the VT340
instead of an Intercolor. The Intercolor uses a variation of the ASCII
escape sequences to set foreground and background colors for a field.
We would like to know if an escape sequence such as ^[[34;40m would work
for the VT340. I couldn't find anything in the VT340 manuals that
mentioned color for the non-graphics character mode. We don't have a
VT340 and the local DEC distributors will not let us have one for evaluation.
(I guess they sell every one they make.)
If anybody does know of a way to get colors in the character mode would
you please send me the escape sequence format? If I get enough 'me toos'
I'll summarize to the net after a bit. I'll gladly accept RTFMs if you
give me the page number, otherwise I'll just insult your lineage.
I recall seeing, a month or so ago, a request for opinions on the VT340.
Did I miss the summary of the answers?
