Re: console fg & bg colours
These are the CSH aliases I use to set terminal colors. The mail program
probably will remove an embedded escape from these, you'll have to put it
back.

# Some csh versions don't support numeric escape sequences in echo.
set esc="\033"
if ( `echo $esc` == "\033" ) then
# NOTE - THERE SHOULD BE AN EMBEDDED ESCAPE CHARACTER BETWEEN THE QUOTES
# ON THE NEXT LINE.
set esc=""
endif
# Clear the screen.
alias clear 'echo -n "${esc}[2J"'
# Set the color of the page behind the next characters that will
# be typed. Does not change the color of the overall background,
# just the part behind those characters.
