Like the rest of my mail, yes. :)
When thinking of the virtual terminal as a `real' hardware terminal, a
lot of lights go on, especially concerning the background colour.
>From this new perspective, I find it remarkable, that setting the
background colour with a command like:
echo -n '^[[44m'
only changes the background colour of a few characters (the bash
prompt). The more I type, the more gets blue and as soon as I do a
backspace or try to resize the terminal, the whole line gets blue.
What I would expect (and I'm probably wrong here too, but hopefully not
_that_ wrong) is, that my whole terminal turns blue as soon as it reads
the control sequence `^[[44m'. I can achieve this, however, by pressing
<enter> until I reach the bottom of the terminal where it starts to
generate `new' blue lines or simply by clearing the screen with `clear'.
Maybe thats the way the old VT100 works..?
