Actually, though that will enable color for everything else, it will not help slrn or other slang-based programs. For those, you have to either use the command line option they have that enables color (for slrn, -C), or you need to set the COLORTERM environment variable. Here is an example of how I set the latter in my /etc/zshrc: # Set COLORTERM for s-lang programs if this is a color terminal if [[ $TERM = "xterm" ]] || [[ $TERM = "linux" ]]; then export COLORTERM=y fi For bash, you'd want something like this: (untested) # Set COLORTERM for s-lang programs if this is a color terminal if [ "$TERM" = "xterm" -o "$TERM" = "linux" ]; then COLORTERM=y export COLORTERM fi -- see shy jo -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
