The way to do this differs depending on the shell you use, if it's bash just type: export TERM=xterm-color if it's csh type: setenv TERM xterm-color (There are more shells, look at the man page of your shell for more details!) Hope that helps, Cheers and Good Morning :) Frank P.S. I have read that in new versions of FreeBSD the TERM variable is set to xterm-color by default, but I have forgotten if this is already done in -stable or if this is done in -current - and I don't know which version of FreeBSD you are running :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
