The SCO Color console, which I wrote the emulation for in the commercial comm software products TERM and TinyTERM, does not do this. The curses package (apparently) doesn't expect this. I can not run elm on a SunOS, Solaris, or Linux box without getting a reverse screen. > 2) ncurses package takes advantage of this feature when > filling screen with color instead of putting spaces. I didn't say a color set would not cause this to happen. Colors and attributes which map to colors should be treated seperately.
