Pavel, Thanks very much for your reply!
I will do some digging and let you (via the list) know more. Currently, text on konsole is displayed as black on white except when I run MC. I'll dig into konsole and see if there is something more I can / must do to force it to always be black on white. I'll also look for the MC_COLOR_TABLE environment variable on SourceForge (and at home). I'll let you know what I find. Randy Kramer PS: Nothing new below -- just quoting your entire response.
