I reckon that setterm is a bit of a horrible kludge, anyway. Setting
colours is do-able within termcap and terminfo.
I've spent a few hours hacking away at these, and came up with the
following entries. I'm not great at termcap or terminfo, and these could
probably be done a lot better by somebody who knows what they're doing.
However, they work for me... I've now got white text on a blue
background. I'll tweak it some more over the next few days to give me
different colours for bold, italic, etc.
See terminfo(5) for information about what it all means. see also a
reference on ANSI terminal escape codes...if I had of had one handy it
wouldn't have taken me anywhere near as long, I had to do the escape codes
from memory by trial and error.
termcap: (note, change the #li50 if you're not running in 50 line mode)
