Is there any way to do this? Just a hint: you could check in your shell's startup script if TERM is set to xterm (like xterm sets it) and then set it to xterm-color instead, if you require this. On the console, it is normally set to cons25 via /etc/ttys, which suffices (programs normally don't get the tty screen dimensions from termcap/terminfo entries so there is no practical difference between cons25 and cons50.) --mkb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
