well, by trial and error, I found something that works, at least on mac
systems. Make sure you have ncurses installed, and put this in your
.bashrc:
# Fix the term variable in OS X
if [ "$TERM" == "network" ]; then
export TERM=mach-color
fi
(you need to adapt this for (t)csh. it checks and sees if your terminal
is network, the default, and then will set it to mach-color if it is.
that way if u ssh in from linux or something, it wont mess it up.
it works. giFTcurs is now in color, and the function keys still work (up
to f4 anyway)
