colored data output
Hi,
I am working with HP-UX 11.
I try to make an colored data output with echo.
I tried the following:
echo "\033]32m Red"
This works perfectly in my terminal.
But when I type the same at the hpterm, it does not work, the terminal just prints the complete text "\033]32m Red" without color.
Is there another way to make colored output, independent from the shell?!
Thx for your help
