Re: APL: GNU: Microsoft: Windows: 10: Color

[Dr . Jürgen Sauermann]

Hi again,

I wasn't even aware that you could run GNU APL in a cmd.exe console. 
Last time I
used cygwin (admittedly already quite  few yeas ago) it came with its 
own window
and a bash shell inside. That window was xterm compatible and colors did 
work
out of the box.

Best Regards,
Jürgen
