Hello and thanks for the reply I don't have the possibility to change the remote host I was hopping to be able to change the color of the xterm window Every time I log in into remote host but to control it from cygwin For example if I type : Can it be done ? Also I can't find the file /usr/share/doc/xterm-229/ctlseqs.txt In my installation is there some web reference to that ? Thanks allot
