[erlang-questions] terminal codes

[黃耀賢 (Yau-Hsien Huang)]

I made a Erlang script and got output that seems correct.

#!/usr/bin/env escript
-compile(export_all).
main([]) ->
    io:format("\e[1;36mabc\e[0;37m").

I checked it by pasting what printed into a telnet BBS and viewing it
effect. It works.
So the problem may shift to how to make Erlang shell support terminal color
codes.
