How to reset screen attributes?

How to reset screen attributes?

Hi all, i tried out some of those uuencoded animations and some worked
but messed up my screen after they had finished, that such that lower
case letters became random ascii characters (lines, finny currency
signs, blocks etc) and i could not correct it except log out and log
in again. Anyone know how to avoid this problem?

I am catting them in VT100 in a Rainbow PAD, whatever that is.

regards,

beng
