- LoraBBS can optionally send "ANSI codes" to your terminal program. If
- your terminal does support ANSI, then you'll be able to use colour in
- the menu prompts, cursor movement, and other niceties.
-
- However, your terminal program must have support for these codes, or
- else you'll only see a lot of garbage. If your terminal program has
- a terminal emulation mode of either "ANSI" or "VT-100", then you
- should switch to it now.
-
- Here's what ANSI codes look like:
-
- A B C
-
- If you can see a bunch of numbers and square brackets, then your
- terminal program does NOT support ANSI graphics, and you should answer
- "N" at the prompt.
-
- If there were three blocks of letters, with no intervening numbers, then
- your terminal program DOES support ANSI, and you should answer "Y"
- at the prompt.
-
- If you own a colour monitor, then the first group of letters should be red,
- the second green, and the third blue.
-
- The answer you give here is not something that is totally permanent.
- LoraBBS has a CHANGE SETUP menu, and you can toggle your ANSI on or off
- there.
-
- To turn *on* ANSI codes, enter. Y
- To turn *off* ANSI codes, enter.. N
