perhaps not. You said using xterm-color that you're getting black background for the text instead of the default. The xterm-color description doesn't have bce, so it cannot produce default color (unless it's relying on additional information, e.g., the screen library's been told that "default" is something other than black). -- T.E.Dickey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
