Well something is interfering here! On what kind of system are you doing this? Stand-alone PC or as part of a site network? What happens if you do emacs21 -vanilla ? If it works as with Xemacs, that should cut out local and site-wide init files. If that dosn't work have a look in the emacs21 user manual for the equivalent command line options. Instead of trying with ~/.Xdefaults, you could try something like this in your .emacs (near the end!) Fidle with colours according to taste.... (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(background-mode . light)) (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(foreground-color . "Black")) (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(cursor-color . "red")) (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(background-color . "LightGoldenRodYellow")) Glyn -- Debian Home http://www.debian.org Debian Planet http://www.debianplanet.org/ For the children http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-jr/ In a hurry??? http://qref.sourceforge.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
