Your problem interested me so I ran a quick google search and found this site, http://frexx.de/xterm-256-notes/ which had the following: "By default, screen is not aware that it is running in a 256 color capable xterm. To make programs in screen recognize this feature, you need to set three things in your ~/.screenrc: # terminfo and termcap for nice 256 color terminal # allow bold colors - necessary for some reason attrcolor b ".I" # tell screen how to set colors. AB = background, AF=foreground termcapinfo xterm 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm' # erase background with current bg color defbce "on" " I think this may help you. -- Dave Waxman [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://waxman.org/ "The time to relax is when you don't have time for it." - Sydney J.
