When exiting a program inside an xterm sometimes the display is not left as it was before. For instance, 'mc' sometimes leaves the cursor as white box on white background, a bit difficult to see. Minicom leaves it as yellow on white. All this after the "clear" and "reset" commands.
Any other possibility to reset it (black box on white background)?
You can try also some escape sequences: echo ^V<esc>c echo ^V<esc>[2J http://www.cs.csubak.edu/newsite/index.php?t=1&p=technical_info/tables_charts/vt100_escape_codes Plenty more to try. :)
