    "simulatebg" is not a file, but rather an option to "ctrans" that you
    specify with "-simulatebg". See the "ctrans" man page for
    more information.

    However, rather than trying to use this option, I highly recommend
    setting up your color table so that the background color is the color
    that you want when you use "idt" to send it to another device.
    If you have any questions about this, please email me.

    Cheers,

    --Mary
