[CentOS] Terminal settings

[Ashley M. Kirchner]

Thanks John, but that's exactly what my setup is. I use either Linux or
xterm with the alternate keyboard emulation unchecked. I'm always using the
White/Black color scheme with Lucida Console font. There's also a check box
for 'Use Unicode graphics characters' which is checked.
