(I never used >color_xterm, but my xterm supports colors. ;) More correctly, the XFree86 3.2 and higher xterm supports ANSI colour codes. The X Consortium didn't pick up these changes, so they are not in their standard releases. Those who have problems getting things in colour when TERM is set to xterm-color, check that you have the XTerm-color app-defaults file installed, *and* that you have something like the following in your .Xdefaults file: #ifdef COLOR *customization: -color #endif so that it gets used. I think this is the most common reason for people having problems getting it to work. David
