I am locally at a sun station and I ssh into a remote 4.4R box. ----------- On local machine using local vim % vim -version VIM - Vi IMproved 5.8 (2001 May 31, compiled Aug 30 2001 16:58:08) % echo $TERM dtterm When I run vim I don't get color, just underlines and bold. When trying vim -T term_type, only builtin_xterm has any font highlighting and it gives the same colorless underlines and bold font as above. ----------- On local machine using remote vim via ssh % vim -version VIM - Vi IMproved 6.0ax BETA (2001 Sep 19, compiled Sep 30 2001 12:28:33) % echo $TERM dtterm When running vim I get nice colors. ----------- On remote machine using local local vim within kde % vim -version VIM - Vi IMproved 6.0ax BETA (2001 Sep 19, compiled Sep 30 2001 12:28:33) % echo $TERM dtterm When running, don't get color, just underlines and bold. This does not make sense to me. There must be some type of tranformation taking place via the remote session. Else, why would colors work in an ssh session and not locally? Any ideas? Anyone?
