Well, as you seem to know, conio.h and cprintf() are not standard C
but platform (and maybe implementation) specific.
This is beyond the scope of this newsgroup.
Asking in a newsgroup for Unix/Linux programming newsgroup may help
you.

Cheers
Michael

The short answer, for comp.lang.c, is "you can't". (It requires non-
standard extensions and/or libraries.)

The longer answer is "ask a Linux/Unix newsgroup about terminfo and/or
curses".

And, in addition, I will say that no matter what I try, I can't get my
DT-100 terminal to display any colors other than green and black.

You are unlucky. I always liked the HP terminals with their light gray
on black. I thought the green was too green.
