Re: viewing ansi graphics

[Jim Foltz <aa204@acorn.net>]

Try:

echo -e "\e[32mHi"

Where 32 is the ansi code for green. Also look at the setfont man page to
set the console font to an ascii one to use the extended characters. Plain
old setfont with no args works for me to set the console to vga fonts.
