I just discovered that running an xterm, the background is a deep off-white, a gray-something with black type. I've played around with XTerm-color in the X11R6 app-defaults file, but still haven't figured out how to get a clean while background. On most servers I run CTWM (and xterm) and when I ssh into *this* mailserver (tao) and use mutt the colors are fine, not darker. If I've explained myself well enough, can someone give me some clues? thanks muchly, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public Service Unix
