Since vt220-color is not a "real" term type. Is this
the terminfo I (cmosley) gave you or someone quite a while ago for an
apple vt220 emulation - the problem being that you could not get color
using the standard vt220 ? Or maybe something you put together yourself?
 

In reference to the other response.  Isn't the COLORTERM env variable used
by programs compiled with slang (instead of *curses) to force color when
not explicit in the terminfo.
