Glad I could help you.
There is only one other problem I've been having with RH 6.2. It's really a
personal prefence issue. RH 6.2 turns on the color feature on the Xterminals by
default. I prefer white text on black for my terminal windows, which makes it
hard to read the dark blue used for some items in the man pages and colorized
ls. I was able to disable the "color ls" easily, but my man pages still come
up colorized, as if Ted Turner got his hands on them. I posted my dilemma to
this list, but I made the mistake of sayng I thought it was a stupid feature.
As a result I got a bunch of flames, but no useful answers for getting the
color out of my man pages.
