Control characters that enact colors do so by entering graphics mode.
To exit graphics mode type the following at your prompt:

	echo <esc>c

where <esc> it the Escape key (^[).

That will return you to text mode.  Easiest way to do this is if you can
suspend your process (cntrl-z) and then type it at your unix prompt and
resume (fg).  This will work on most Unix systems and all them dern
different shells (ksh,csh...etc..)

	Yes, why don't you all create a new newsgroup?
