You may also need to fiddle with /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm[-color] to get colors in an xterm. The color assignments are in XTerm-color, and I've never figured out how this file ever gets sourced. I always just rename XTerm to XTerm-nocolor, create a soft link from XTerm to XTerm-color, and change the "#include" line in XTerm-color to include XTerm-nocolor. Then, I think you have to invoke the xterm command with the "+cm" options. later, - rick -- Richard Kilgore | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Electrical & Computer Engineering | http://lore.ece.utexas.edu/~rkilgore/ The University of Texas at Austin | (512) 471-8011 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
