System name: bombardier
Type and version: POWER 7.5B
Display type: POWER_Gt1
What were you trying to do?
Display a string in bold by doing:
ESC [ 5 m text here ESC [ m
These are standard vt100 escape codes, they should work in ANY xterm
that uses the default vt100 emulation mode.
What's wrong:
It came out totally garbage. I can't paste it here, cause it
wouldn't show up for you, but for an example, do the following:
add solo26
zsigwrite $USER
<enter a message, and end it>
At the end, you'll see:
$USER: Message sent...maybe.
^^^^^
The username should be in boldface; instead, everything after it
gets completely garbled.
What should have happened:
See the previous sentence. IBM xterms should use vt100 catcodes.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
VT100 manual (/mit/solo26/info/escape.codes)
