Hi Nabin: Glad it works for you. As I mentioned in a previous email, the only way I discovered to disable colours altogether was to change the terminal type as defined with the TERM environment variable. Mind you, this only applies to CUI sessions (console or terminals), I very seldom use the GUI (KDE in our case) and when I do I find that colours are useful (I know this does not help with your monochrome monitor).
So to force monochrome in CUI sessions add the following lines to your .bash_profile file: if [ "${TERM}" == "ansi" ]; then TERM=ansi-m fi if [ "${TERM}" == "linux" ]; then TERM=linux-m fi The linux/linux-m terminal types are for the console sessions. We find the ansi/ansi-m useful for telnet sessions that we do using NetTerm or TinyTerm (either with SCO ANSI emulation). If you require monochrome support for GUI you might be better off requesting help from a list supporting your desktop manager.
