In the video on youtube and in my experience the screen formating codes 
seem to be incorrect.  You can see this in the video when a man page is 
brought up.  The bolding does not occur.  I get the same result after 
installing.  The same with vi, it doesn't work in the video and doesn't 
work after installation.  I've tried Teraterm, putty, xterm all with the 
same result.  Haven't tried an actual terminal yet.  What was your 
experience?
