I'd recommend rxvt instead, which does handle it. Look in the > ports/packages for it. No, the standard xterm does do colour. You need to set the TERM environment to xterm-color. There's also a resource which governs the use of colour. It should be enabled by default, but if you have trouble, check that you have this line in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm: *VT100*colorMode: on > rxvt is also half the memory size of xterm, so it's good even if you > don't need color.
