I am curious about color support in wscons, which I understand is the
default console for NetBSD. 

For example, Mutt doesn't not show colors in the console but does in XTerm.
Lynx is the same way. I had assumed that this was a limitation of the 
NetBSD console but when I use ssh to login to a Linux box, dircolors works.

Can anyone explain what causes this?
