Have a look at the man page and my .Xdefaults[1]...

Thank you for the suggestion. I'm currently using the bare cmd.exe of Win2k and didn't want to have to start X11 just to get a terminal emulator. It seems heavy - is this really necessary? There is probably some magic thing to say in inputrc or terminfo to specify these colors but it has been 20 years since I waded into termcap/terminfo. The manual mentions set_foreground and set_background but it requires a lot of digging to sort out. I was hoping someone could point the way or say "there be dragons".

Cygwin's rxvt port is quite cool, actually: can BOTH run with and without X11.
