Hi Elias,
true. Please send the patches.
Actually the GNU APL ESC sequences for colors are not that hardcoded
(you can ./configure them).
But I agree that terminfo is probably a better solution.
Thanks,
Jürgen

The implementation of GNU API uses hard-coded escape sequences

library, which has existed since the 80's.
The code base seems simple enough, and changing the code to use the
terminfo should be simple. I'm willing to help out and provide patches
if needed.
