Hi to everybody Maybe there is an easy answer to this but I couldnt find it
When I used Slackware there was a command like ``color-xterm'' and I would have an xterm with color support In debian if I run ls --color=auto or jed (with ANSI_COLORS enabled)I see colors; but if I run a script which uses ``dialog'' this is b&w; the only way I can have colors in dialog is to set TERM=xterm-color but this not so nice to do everytime. Is there a way I can tell xterm to set TERM=xterm-color ? BTW in jed's syntax hiliting some things, like LaTeX commands, are green over white: unreadable. I have changed it to red over white and $ signs to blue over white but the effect of the change is only for terminals; in .jedrc I have undeleted #ifndef XWINDOWS before the set_color part, that now reads $1 = ``black''; $2 = ``white''; set_color(``menu'', ``white'', ``blue''); % menu bar set_color(``normal'', $1, $2); % default fg/bg set_color(``status'', ``yellow'', ``blue''); % status or mode line set_color(``region'', ``yellow'', ``brightmagenta'');% for marking regions set_color(``operator'', $1, $2); % +, -, etc.. set_color(``number'', ``brightblue'', $2); % 10, 2.71,... TeX formulas set_color(``comment'', ``white'', ``brightcyan''); % /* comment */ set_color(``string'', ``brightblue'', $2); % ``string'' or `char' set_color(``keyword'', ``brightred'', $2); % if, while, unsigned, ... set_color(``keyword1'', ``brown'', $2); % malloc, exit, etc... set_color(``delimiter'', $1, $2); % {}[](),.;... set_color(``preprocess'', ``magenta'', $2); % #ifdef .... set_color(``message'', ``blue'', $2); % color for messages set_color(``error'', ``brightred'', $2); % color for error set_color(``dollar'', ``magenta'', $2); % color dollar sign continuation set_color(``...'', ``red'', $2); % folding indicator this has skrewd up the colorsin xjed , though: in xjed now LaTeX commands are green over black (?) and $ signs are blu over black how come? thanks a.m. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
