Even if you *could* access it at compile time, you don't necessarily want to -- for example, if you distribute your program to other users, they would be stuck with the terminal settings you had while compiling, rather than adapting to *their* environment at runtime. If your terminal doesn't match theirs, it would screw up big time. :-) T -- Shin: (n.) A device for finding furniture in the dark.
