I use a colorized termcap with less, but it also works with /usr/bin/more. It depends on what type of terminal you are using it on. I have it for xterm and rxvt (which is what I use). This works for manpages, but you can also colorize your prompt. It is short, so my ~/.termcap is below: ---------------------- snip ------------------- # this is just changes to the standard FreeBSD termcaps - 2010-12-13 cdj xterm|xterm-color|X11 terminal emulator:\ :md=\E[33;1m:so=\E[36;1m:se=\E[0m:us=\E[32;4m:ue=\E[0;24m:\ :ti@:te@:tc=xterm-xfree86: rxvt|rxvt terminal emulator (X Window System):\ :md=\E[33;1m:so=\E[36;1m:se=\E[0m:us=\E[32;4m:ue=\E[0;24m:\ :pa#64:Co#8:AF=\E[3%dm:AB=\E[4%dm:op=\E[39;49m:\ :tc=rxvt-mono: ---------------------- snip ------------------- All that does is set bold to yellow, standout to cyan, and underline to green. I use white on black, so if you use something else you will probably have to adjust the colors. I haven't tried 9.0, but this works on 8.1-RELEASE and 8.2-RELEASE. You can decide for yourself if that does what you want. -- Carl Johnson carlj@peak.org
