Um, I'm dialing in on shell to a vt100 with color and I don't have
access to the terminfo file. I am running a csh shell (I think that's how
to phrase it...) I  lost my computer guru when I stopped going to college,
so I don't have an "interpreter" anymore, and I only know a little bit of
Unix. Could someone explain a bit more in depth? -- Thanks.
