Rod, Command line returns immediately. What's interesting (to me, at least) is that I can put 'export COLORTERM=rxvt-unicode-256color' in ~/.bash_profile and it's added to the environment along with -xpm. [rshepard@salmo ~]$ env | grep -i TERM* TERM=rxvt-unicode COLOTTERM=rxvt-unicode-256color COLORTERM=rxvt-xpm The problem I'm trying to resolve is the lost ability of my virtual terminals (which includes the window in which alpine, my MUA, displays) to display the UTF-8 character set. I had it for a short time after building and installing urxvt/rvxt-unicode, but now it's gone again. I also cannot read the UTF-8 test file in a console (X not running in it). Quite frustrating. The rxvt-unicode author berated me for having a broken distribution or, at least, terminfo. I gained the ability to view UTF-8 characters when I found a rvxt-unicode description for /etc/termcap, but that's apparently been deprecated in favor or /usr/share/termifo/r/rxvt*. Sigh. Twenty years after the birth of linux I would think this would not be an issue for any distribution. Seems to me to be a broad-based need and why it's not working here is well beyond my experience and knowledge.
