I've done "man xterm", and looked elsewhere, but either I'm completely missing it or I can't find how to change xterm's background in Xfree86 to black instead of white. I do a lot of telnet'ing into places that use ANSI color, and cyan, yellow, etc just do not stand out on a white background. :( Is there a replacement for xterm that is better? Is there a switch for setting background color in xterm? I'm currently running AfterStep 1.0 and XFree86 3.1 (the release that comes in the FreeBSD 2.2.5 Walnut Creek CD-ROM)I've tried using different telnet clients that support color, but whenever it sees an ANSI reset, it switches to white again. I guess since this isn't a FreeBSD question per se, I outta go to the XFree86 site... But if someone out there knows, maybe you can drop me a line.
