subject: getting ANSI in a Linux terminal

I just discovered a post on a newsgroup and I wanted to post it here. I found
that on a Gnome terminal, if you type echo -e "\033(U"  and hit enter, I am
able to see full on Ansi color and IBM extended characters. For some reason
this does not work in xterm or the Kde Konsole. 

I am very happy to see Ansi art again after all these years!  :)

enjoy!
Jim
