+Color extensions of XTerm escape sequences: ESC ] Ps;Pt BEL
+(Escape Sequences are explained at http://www.rxvt.org/refer/rxvtRef.html)
+
+Note: Ps values are no longer experimental -- we simply emulate Xterm
+(see ctlseqs.ms contained in ftp://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.tar.gz:
+ Operating System Controls
+ OSC Ps ; Pt BEL
+     Ps = 4  ; c ; name -> Change Color #c to cname.  Any
+                           number of c name pairs may be given. )
+
+There are some examples. See rxvt-pal.tar.gz
+
+Author Christian W. Zuckschwerdt <zany@triq.net>  2000-04-27 - 2000-09-08
+
+In addition to the Ps values 39 and 49 there are some other
+values to change the actual rxvt color scheme.
+
+ESC ] Ps;Pt BEL
+
+	Ps = 3 9	Change default foreground colour to Pt
+	Ps = 4 9	Change default background colour to Pt
+
+	Ps = 4 ; c ; name	Change Color #c to cname.  Any
+				number of c name pairs may be given.
+	Ps = 1 2	Change color name of text cursor foreground to Pt
+	Ps = 1 3	Change color name of mouse foreground to Pt
+	Ps = 1 7	Change color name of highlight to Pt
+	Ps = 1 8	Change color name of bold characters to Pt
+	Ps = 1 9	Change color name of underlined characters to Pt
+
+please note that Ps=10 and Ps=11 should change the foreground and back-
+ground color. But RXVT already assigned another function (menu) to Ps=10!
+
+That is eg.
+
+ESC ] 4 ; 0 ; name	Change former 'black' color
+ESC ] 4 ; 1 ; name	Change former 'red' color  
+ESC ] 4 ; 2 ; name	Change former 'green' color
+ESC ] 4 ; 3 ; name	Change former 'yellow' color
+ESC ] 4 ; 4 ; name	Change former 'blue' color  
+ESC ] 4 ; 5 ; name	Change former 'magenta' color
+ESC ] 4 ; 6 ; name	Change former 'cyan' color   
+ESC ] 4 ; 7 ; name	Change former 'white' color  
+ESC ] 4 ; 8 ; name	Change former 'bright black' color
+ESC ] 4 ; 9 ; name	Change former 'bright red' color
+ESC ] 4 ; 10 ; name	Change former 'bright green' color
+ESC ] 4 ; 11 ; name	Change former 'bright yellow' color 
+ESC ] 4 ; 12 ; name	Change former 'bright blue' color
+ESC ] 4 ; 13 ; name	Change former 'bright magenta' color
+ESC ] 4 ; 14 ; name	Change former 'bright cyan' color
+ESC ] 4 ; 15 ; name	Change former 'bright white' color
+
+More documentation on request, if anyone actually cares.
