the problem is that teraterm does not handle colour attributes in exactly the way that the mmbasic editor expects. see the below screen captures from both teraterm and gfxterm:
teraterm maps both dim and normal brightness text as bright, except for black that maps as always dim. this means that 'normal black' appears as black-on-black (ie, not visible). whereas GFXterm maps dim and normal brightness to a 16-colour palette - where 'normal black' appears as grey. this follows the pattern of various sources on the web.
unfortunately the mmbasic editor uses 'normal black' quite extensively when operating in colour coding mode (OPTION COLOURCODE ON). as a result, out-of-the-box teraterm has problems if the user turns on colour coding.
rather than inverting the colours in teraterm, a better solution may be for someone to work out how to configure teraterm to use a different pallete - or for the mmbasic editor to not use 'normal black' for readable text.
