For the first time ever, for the last week, since I switched from using the ancient sun "shelltool" gui-terminal-emulator (is that what it & dtterm & xterm are called?) to cde ddterm, I am able to see *COLORS*! (About which I know nothing, nor x11 either.) Anyway, when I want to do a followup to a news-post, trn puts me into vi (well, here on my shell-acct isp, they tell me that what they call vi is really nvi), and since my .exrc specifies shownumbers (if that's what it's called, I forget, too lazy to look), I get line-numbers, which I have always found handy. Anyway, they show in this horrible pale, very pale, that is, yellow, totally unreadable against the bright white background. Any clue as how to I can change them to, say, red, or deep blue, or brown, or anything visible? (And *without* having to read a book or even a chapter on X resources, I hope -- maybe just a cookbook recipe, something I can just lift off the screen and stick into some dot-file?) THANKS! David PS: whatever answers come on this, maybe they should be held aside somewhere for eventual inclusion into a "more about trn" manual (since that original one will likely *never* get updated). :-( ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
