A new setterm program was shipped under separate cover for 0.96b. Are
you sure you're not trying to use it with a previous release of the
kernel? All of this stuff works via terminal escape codes, is my
understanding. Several terminal escape codes (include -store) appear to
have been changed in the kernel as of 0.96b.
