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

Beng, if you're on a unix machine:

% cat        <- This will still look messed up
^[c          <- This is the escape key, and the lower-case letter c
^D           <- This is a control 'D', followed by a return character
%            <- Your terminal should just like when you turned it on.

 One difference between a man and a machine is that a machine is quiet
 when well oiled.
