Try the following in a terminal session and see if that helps. export TERM=vt100 > See attached a pic of an xterm window, which I cannot read easily.

You can also redefine the colors in XTerm so that anything that thinks it's using a given color number is actually using whatever RGB value you set. Thus you can alter the colors to whatever you want. -- Grant. . . . unix || die
