   Thanks, but the main problem is that I have a zillion of the little   
   buggers, so I'd have to change it everywhere.  That's the part that is too   
   much trouble.  Then I'd have to remember to undo it when not on a Pi or   
   when the Pi people change things up - as they frequently do.   
      
   There was another "solution" posted here a while back - that I played with   
   a bit - it seemed to work.  It was something like set tc_Col=0 or something   
   like that - which inhibited all coloring, leaving everything black and   
   white.
