Identical to mine Robert.

I am tempted to rewrite the cocos 'echo' command so it will interpret the 
input string in the same manner as a termset entry so I can test each of 
the colon separated commands in the actual format they are in this file.  
The instant problem with that is that the actual interpretation is modified 
by the presence of both the $ sign indicating a 2 char hex value, the \ is 
used as a sub this marker for the value passed after the second \, and an 
ascii character seen above  is used as the value of that character in the 
usual ascii/numerical mapping.  So that final $1b[0m is the same as a 
$1b5b306D for instance, just a shorter way to specify it.

But its too late to try that tonight.  :(  I did try the first ccc to see 
if I could move the curser to some arbitrary place, but the shell breaks 
the interpretation at the ";" so I'll have to sort out some other way to 
test that, later.

The esc key actually echo's as a . from the coco and the last 2 sets 
reverse the black/white, then restore it, so that at least is working, but 
many of the others are only equ to double line feeds.  Obviously I need to 
make the comm translations as transparent as possible before fooling with 
this when I'm awake.

Thanks Robert.

Cheers, Gene
