Set/Reset Color Map Table (Esc - q)
The Esc - q sequence sets or resets the entries in the color map table. This
allows you to control how the video attribute characters associated with
Esc 6 and Esc 7 sequences are mapped to the workstation or PC screen.
The user must select color mapping in order for the color map table to be
used.
