No. After ESC, type the chars [ and m. Or ESC, a ( and a B. :-) It's not a special character like ^C, this is (these are) two characters. I don't know the correct value, you have to type something like this: tput sgr0 | od -c, and after it type the characters you get. Oh! I've just found, that tput in FreeBSD need the name of the variables in termcap, and not in terminfo style. So, you have to type instead of tput sgr0 -> tput me tput op -> tput op tput smacs -> tput as tput rmacs -> tput ae etc (I've found it in ``man terminfo''). And after it, you can find the characters with that tput ... | od -c form. In my console, sgr0 and rmacs are both ESC [ m. The others aren't defined. -- Gabor Zahemszky <zgabor@CoDe.hu> -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- Earth is the cradle of human sense, but you can't stay in the cradle forever.
