   Now you are getting into the realm of terminal emulation.
   There are many schemes for reproducing color and cursor
   control on a remote terminal: vt100, vt101, vt102, ANSI.
   You need to encode the color and cursor changes into your
   text as escape sequences, and then have the remote terminal
   interpret those command sequences and perform the proper
   color and cursor changes. There is a good deal of material
   in SNIPPETS concerning ANSI emulation. Another option is to
   send two characters for each video display character, but
   this is twice the necessary data, usually, and an ANSI
   terminal emulation will usually be more economical.
   If the ANSI.SYS, or equivalent, is present on the remote
   system, then the text received may simply be printed to
   stdout, and the installed ISR will handle the emulation.
