The TMI-2 Mudlib supports several different sets of escape sequences for maximum compatibility with the various terminal emulations out there. Most terminal emulations (vt100) for example either use the full ansi escape sequences or the sequences for bolding. TMI-2 supports the following escape sequence protocols: ansi ansi-status freedom xterm unknown (this is default, for non-colour terminals) Use the <call> command to set your terminal protocol. Ex: call me;set_term;ansi Check <help colour> to see how to say things in colour. Note that many mud clients use escape sequences, and therefore may become confused by certain terminal types. "unknown" will never mess up.
