If you | set this environment variable to 'xterm-color' instead, a lot of programs will | use colors. You can do this by | | TERM=xterm-color; export TERM | | in Bourne-derived shells, and | | setenv TERM xterm-color | | in csh-derived shells. termcap: | xterm|xterm-color|X11 terminal emulator:\ | :ti@:te@:tc=xterm-xfree86: >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: There would be two solutions: 1) Make termcap's `xterm' to be monochrome (and deriver xterm-color from it).
