Everybody seems to have missed this but there is a mechanism to make xterm set TERM to xterm-color which also makes most other X apps work in colour.

I gather (I have not tested) that this even does the right thing if you run an xterm on a mono X-Server. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith http://sohara.webhop.net/ A Better Way To Focus The Sun To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
