i want to use emacs with the -nw option in an Eterm. i
am on FreeBSD
4.5 and env shows that i am using some cons25
terminal. 

When i run Emacs on a console the meta key doesn't
work and nor do i
get any colours when i do this.
M-x list-colors-display

If i run Emacs in X without the -nw option i get the
colors. While
in X if i run emacs -nw in an Eterm (which i checked
use xterm-color
terminal) again i get no colour.

VIM works everywhere. In X without X. i get colour
output with ls.

Why is it that only emacs feels the pinch with this
cons25 terminal.
Does anyone use any other better terminal to use in
FreeBSD.

(by the way i tried vt100 and vt200. Also, i copied
the "linux"
terminal from the termcap info file in Mandrake, it
didn't work and
now i don't have the tenacity to do any more hit and
trial)

Thanks


PS Sorry i know the name of list is "linux-India.."
