I mostly use cons25 terminals to fire up screen(1) and this is a local change that I keep around in my .screenrc files: termcap cons* us=\E[36m:ue=\E[m The added termcap capabilities make underlined text come up as cyan, which makes manpages a lot more readable than reverse video (I've tried using us=\E[7m for a while, but the results weren't very pleasing to the eye). If it's not a rather hard thing to support, I'd really vote for keeping the colour support enabled, instead of using reverse video for underlined/italic text in nroff. If I'm completely out of topic and the changes are not going to force reverse video instead of the old underline attribute for italicised text, please ignore this... I haven't had the time to look at the changes yet, since my latest buildworld is still running. Giorgos.
