You should just use the color attribute of the font tag, or CSS. If lynx don't support either, mayby you can help extending it so it does (yes, afaik lynx is still being developed). HTML renders on much other than Lynx, and even lynx run on many terminal standards, not just vt100. So it is a very bad idea to try to embet vt100 codes in your HTML. If your application is only supposed to work on text terminals, maybe you should use the curses library rather than HTML. // Rasmus -- kaj@cityonline.se --------------- Rasmus Kaj - http://www.e.kth.se/~kaj/ \ CityOnLine IB Production AB - http://www.CityOnLine.se/ \-- I do not fear computers.
