xterm on Linux at work. It's there; it "just works". I've used xterm with mutt on HP-UX and Solaris, too. Until I started using Linux, I built xterm myself on those systems so I'd have an up to date version with color. rxvt on Cygwin and Windows XP at home. When I started using Cygwin it was the only terminal available that didn't require X. I've just stuck with it. > And while I am at it, dark background or light background? Dark background. Black or very close. Light gray normal text. It doesn't seem as glaring or as harsh as black on white. Especially in a dark room. Some degree of habit, too. All the computers and terminals I used at first had only light text on dark backgrounds. I just like it. Regards, Gary
