I misread 'extensions'. I found another way to use arbitrary colours. You can map different colours in different instances of xterm. So now i can get good colours in vim *and* midnight commander using any colour from rgb.txt, or a numerical value. Eg: xterm -xrm "*VT100*color4:red" -xrm "*VT100*color15:yellow" -e mc By assigning a different class name: xterm -class <name>, i think you can specify different xterm resource files with their own defaults, colours, and other settings. _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
