I got that scroll bar part now. :) thanx But i still can't see any color in my xterm. I already set up TERM=xterm-color; export TERM in my .profile file. But it doesn't seem to work. Is there any other way to do it? And where can I find nxterm or color-xterm to download? And what surprised me is i found XTerm-color file in app-defaults. Does it mean you can actually use xterm-color in freebsd? (or why it gives you a default settings?) Thanks in advance. ja ne ************************************************************ Wei Weng & A N NIIIM MEEEE * Box s-1398 & A A NN N I MM MM * Stevens Institute of Technology& A A N N N I M M MEEEE * Hoboken, NJ 07030 & AAAAAAAN NN I M M * wweng@stevens-tech.edu &A A NIIIM MEEEE * ************************************************************ On Tue, 7 Oct 1997, Greg Lehey wrote: > On Mon, Oct 06, 1997 at 05:04:30PM -0400, Wei Weng wrote: > > hi > > is there soemthing like color_xterm or nxterm in linux for freebsd instead > > of xterm or rxvt?
