According to the subscriber's list, there's a lot of people subscribed (1286 non-digested members). When I check the archives, there doesn't seem to be much activity since December of last year. Either there's something wrong with the archives, or everyone became active somewhere else. Anyway, my question is on xterm. I can specify the colors of an xterm with the -bg and -fg switches when invoking xterm from the command line. But I notice that at least one app is able to switch the screen colors on the fly (specifically, pine does that). Are there control characters that can change xterm colors? Is there a way to change colors on the fly? === Al __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
