When I use the console on the machine and edit files with 'vim' I have color syntax highlighting. When I ssh in from a PC, and my terminal emulation is set to vt220 or ANSI, my syntax highlighting is limited to bold and underlined characters. I once had RH6.1 linux installed and did not have this problem. I believe it has something to do with the termcap file, but I find it very confusing. Can someone tell me how to get color terminals remotely? Or, can you point me to some good documentation? Thanks a lot, Brent beberg@home.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
