[gentoo-user] How do I turn off ansi (colour) codes in ... script output

[Mick]

Hi All,

Walter had posted a message about ANSI codes showing up in portage output.  I 
am getting the same when I run /usr/bin/script and examine the contents of the 
resultant file with a text editor; e.g. in Vim I get:

^[[0;32m~ ^[[35m$ ^[[0mtest^H^[[K^H^[[K^H^[[K^H^[[Kecho S^H^[[K|^H^[[K$term^M

but when I use less I can see:

~ $ echo $TERM

Is there a way of suppressing these characters in gedit, kwrite, vim, etc.?
