I use fsf emacs since 1996. However my terminfo has no entry for emacs either and I do not see the escape sequences so I think the answer to above question is no. You might have a lisp package called ansi-colors.el in your Xemacs installation. Run this command against the directory that holds all the Xemacs source lisp files (ending in *.el *.elc) find YourLispDirectory/ -iname '*ansi*' And see if it is available. If so I think it will do what you need for now. But I do beleive something in your env is causing the trouble. For expert advice on this I suggest you post a question on: gnu.emacs.xemacs newsgroup. You can get to that newsgroup on www.gmane.org to. Its called: gmane.emacs.xemacs.general Someone there will be able to give you expert advice. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
