2.0/1.3 device probs

Hello… I've come across some differences in 1.3 and 2.0's console.devices. Whats happening is that, in 2.0, when the cursor is at the bottom of the window and it receives a CR/LF which scrolls up the text, it fills in the bottom line with black spaces. It uses the colors from the opening windows Fg/Bg Pens correctly UNTIL it scrolls the window, then it just blacks the rest of the line out. I've set the color using [0;30;43m to give me black text on a white background, but I still get black when the CR/LF occur. And this only happens on 2.0, not 1.3. I'm using an old 3000 with 1.3/2.0 in RAM, could this be the problem? Or is 2.0 console.device messed up? Thanks for any help… David

2.0 fixed some 'bugs' or divergences from the ANSI spec. You can now set the background color by using the new escape sequence ESC[>nm ie ESC[>2m sets the background color of the window itself to white (well, it does with standard Workbench colors, anyway) Use ESC[>3m with the escape sequences you used in 1.3 and it will work fine. You can now even resize the window and keep the correct colors. andy *s
