I'm afraid I have to ask: How do I find out whether my terminal is a "16 color terminal"? Is it "tput colors"? $ tput colors 8 $ TERM=xterm-256color tput colors tput: unknown terminal "xterm-256color" $ TERM=xterm-color tput colors 8 However: XTerm*color15: LightSlateGray seems to be interpreted correctly, So, I'd guess I have a "16 bit color Terminal", right? > Modern Xterms support 256 colors. Try to use a terminfo entry > declaring them all: Export TERM=xterm-256color My $TERM is set to "xterm-color", which seemed to work quite quite fine, until now. Is there, or should there be, a difference btw. "xterm-color" and "xterm-256color" (as you might have guessed: I have no clue about terminfo) Thank you Joe ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
