If you're using X, make sure that TERM is set to 'xterm' Without X, TERM should be set to 'cons25' For Emacs syntax highlighting, you need to add (global-font-lock-mode t) to ~/.emacs For backspace to work in Emacs, set (global-set-key "\C-h" 'delete-backward-char) If you like a colored 'ls', alias ls to 'ls -G': alias ls='/bin/ls -G' > Can anybody help me with this problem. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
