[NTLUG:Discuss] change terminal colors

[Steve Jackson]

ALL APPS.  For example w/SCO/UnixWare you can use the 'setcolor' command to
PERMANENTLY set the terminal colors.  They will stay through vi, whatever.
I realize that the ls will have to be set to the new colors (but even by
default, it should list in it's colors and then return to terminal's
colors).  Anything like the 'setcolor' command available.  I thought Linux
was the 'best', 'most configurable' OS out there.

colors for what app?
Each app has it own set of color coding...
ls can be changed by setting the LS_COLOR env varilable.
vi's can be changed by setting up a .vimrc, since most distros now link vi
to vim in the background.
