That seemed to be the problem -- by .bashrc had export TERM=xterm. I still don't understand why that would override trying to set TERM directly in screen, but after I had removed the line from bashrc and toyed around with $TERM setting, I was able to get 256 color support under xterm. _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
