Hi, I just added the xterm-debian terminfo file in the appropriate Solaris 2.6 location on our Solaris machine, in accordance with what /usr/doc/xbase/README.Debian says. When I start up an xterm on our Solaris machine remotely using SSH on our hamm system (Solaris xterm displayed on hamm system) and then run pine in that xterm I have problems with the colors. The colors look something along the lines of what dselect looks like in an xterm with a white background. However, the "highlight" bar that you would normally see when selecting an e-mail to read from the pine index is not at all visible. There is no change in the color of the text that is apparently "below" the highlight bar. I tryed reversing the video but the same problem of an "invisible" highlight bar occurs. If I do a "set term=xterm" in the very same xterm and then re-run pine the problem doesn't occur. Similarly, if I "slogin" into the Solaris machine and run pine I don't have the highlight problem, even though the terminal type is set to "xterm-debian." The problem only seems to occur if I start up a Solaris xterm via remote from my hamm system.
Any ideas as to what the problem might be? I imagine that the same thing will happen with other curses based applications that use highlight bars. Is this a bug in the xterm-debian terminfo file/entry? Incidentally, I am running Pine 4.02. Thanks, -Ossama -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
