Ok, have I lost the plot somewhere, I thought we were talking
about things like line editing, split screen and the like.

Hmm, if we are talking about that it would be nice if there were
a 'greyscale' option.  I keep having to turn colours off because
the terminal I happen to be using has an interesting selection of
colours such that I end up with white on white.  However I like
having things with bold and stuff.

Err, because on my terminal it will never get through, and if I
were to change my stty settings to use different control codes
and then use ^S or ^Q the mud would chose to interpret stuff as
it saw fit rather than how I had set it.
