I realize this. I had to cut some corners because I was switching from a gui environment to screen + mutt, fetchmail/procmail/exim, slrn, and a few others.. and I had to be up and running rapidly - to make things more intersting, I also needed both UTF-8 and 256 colors. Now, I am trying to clean up, stabilize, and document this mess :-) > > >screen -t bash /usr/bin/bash > >screen -t vim /usr/bin/vim > >screen -t mutt /usr/bin/mutt > >screen -t mutt /usr/bin/elinks > > Search the list for my terminfo definition for screen-256color. well I did look for this type of info before I posted but I could not find a screen-256color terminfo entry. There are several threads on this subject including one where Michael Schroeder recommends using xterm-256color but I could not find the terminfo source. > Then, > compile it with tic and set the following in .screenrc: > > term "screen-256color" > see my reply to Stephane > If that isn't enough (can't remember if this takes effect soon enough > for commands run in .screen to see the change to TERM), change the > above lines to > > screen -t mutt $SHELL -c "TERM=screen-256color /usr/bin/mutt" > should have figured that out myself.. just too many things to think about I guess. Thanks for the tip. Works fine.. just had to stick to xterm-256color for now. Thanks a bunch. A little push in the right direction made all the difference. Now I can take care of other stuff before I come back to this. cga _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
