I have to say, it really is worth changing your XTerm/RXVT/Whatever settings so that these colors appear correctly. That way at least you won't be squinting while you're trying to fix it.

Come on now, if documentation just told you what you wanted to hear (which is usually "how do I disable this crap?), it would be a lot shorter and a lot more useful, and that just wouldn't do. -- The Internet, of course, is more than just a place to find pictures of people having sex with dogs. -- Time Magazine, 3 July 1995 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies | http://reductivelabs.com | http://config.sage.orgThere's stuff above here
