Think you're gonna be limited to 8 virtual terminals -
at least w/ wscons-current. Screens are accessed via
alt+ctrl+Fn, n=1-8. The color issue can be dealt with
by adding some ascii-escape codes to your prompt
configuration line in your .cshrc file (or similar).
Do a search on the archives (last two months worth)for
this list using "color" as keyword. I have to echo the
previous reply: read the man pages & especially the
manual.
