Yup, that's what it says.

You know, I'll be more detailed about what I really want..  I don't really
want/need color all that much (though it might be nice to try), what I
really want is to try to get around a weird behavior of this terminal 
emulator at work...  I have blue background, white text..  And BOLD
is set to be black.. which is really really really unreadable in this
color scheme.

What I really would like would be if I could have bold not show up.. 
Well, what I really want is that I want it to show up as 'white' also but
whiter, bold text (i.e. fatter letters) or whatever..  The problem with 
doing that is then I can't see BOLD + INVERSE text, like the current link or
the End of article line in trn...

Actually if bold just simply didn't show up, that'd be fine, because I have
numbered links..

Gee, at home, everything just shows up as inverse or plain and its fine!

Umm, I really doubt they changed the source code..  (Your sentence ended in
the middle btw.)

No, not at work..  Can't do colors at home..  (So obviously I'll have
some check in my .login script to determine where I am coming from and
set up emulation correctly..)
