This isn't working for me  .. Probably doing something wrong but I
can't see what.   Can you see what I've done wrong here?

beginning around line 2379 in termcao

cons25|ansis|ansi80x25:\
	:ac=l\332m\300k\277j\331u\264t\303v\301w\302q\304x\263n\305`^Da\260f\370g\361~\371.^Y-^Xh\261i^U0\333y\363z\362:\

                || fg colour
		||
                bg colour
cons25-m|ansis-mono|ansi80x25-mono:\

When running cap_mkdb termcap I get this output:

I thought maybe the positioning of `bg colour' in your post was a typo
so tried it like `|| bg colour'  but got the same output.

I understood your post to be saying this edit would produce a yellow
on black is that just on xterms?

When viewing  `man chmod'  all highlight is removed which is what I
wanted anyway, but does the output mean something else will break?

Very nice this script
