Yeah, find yourself a VT100 or ANSI term for the TRS/Apple, if you can. I found
one for my Atari 8-bit, only 4 color, but it works.

The IF (Interactive Fiction) area on my board uses a program called
WaffleInfocom. As I recal it does not use ANSI.

I should probably go through all my games and see which ones are unplayable
without ansi and set appropriate permissions.

Does apple2+/e/c have any terminal emulation that may not be ANSI, but at least
has some control above basic ASCII?
