Ok, I wanted to search the archives, but I couldn't find a search
tool. So perhaps that is my first question, how do I do this.
Next, I have two general questions on colormaps and shell programming.
----------------
First: Colormaps:
Could someone give me a basic explanation of how the colormap works. When
I am at home running linux I have not had to worry about this. But, up at
school, we are running some version of unix and I have color problems in
X. Expecially when I run netscape, but I can't even get emacs to
recognize some colors (like orchid or palegoldenrod), I get the error:
Warning: Cannot allocate colormap entry for "palegoldenrod"
Also, this happened when I started running fvwm2 at school. I didn't have
this problem when I was running twm.
thanks for any explanation
--------------
Next, shell programming:
I am just starting to learn a few things about shell programming. I have
been using bash, but I suppose the are all mostly similar. Anyhow, I want
to identify substrings in variable and files. I have used grep to some
success. for example I have this code to find rpm files containg a given
file name:
if rpm -qpl $FILE | grep $FINDNAME > /dev/null
But, if I have two variables, say VAR1 and VAR2, how can I check and see
if $VAR1 contains a substring of $VAR2 ?
I thought that the following would work:
if [ regexp $VAR2 $VAR1 ]
but bash complains that it doesn't recognize regexp.
I'm sure its easy, any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
