Hi,

I'm new here. My question is how do I get rid of colors in "emerge", 
"man" and other command line programs. I managed to do in the shell 
(bash), but I'm somehow lost how to change it elsewhere. In "vi" I know 
of "syn off".

See attached a pic of an xterm window, which I cannot read easily. (I'm 
color-blind, so this might enhance the problem.)

regards,
chris
