I am using FreeBSD 4.0-release. Thanks. Do an "echo $TERM" to see what TERM is set to. If its set to xterm add the following line to ~/.Xdefaults (create the file if it doesn't exist): *termName: xterm-color now "echo $TERM" (after restarting gnome-terminal) should show "xterm-color" and color should work with _all_ applications.
