:help termcap Also: :set termcap .. what is the value of t_Co= ? .. second column about 5 lines down .. To me this sounds like Vim's idea of the underlying "terminal" is incorrect. You could try verifying this by issuing a: :set t_Co=8 :set t_Co=16 .. see if it makes any difference .. 2. Post on the [email protected] list for specialized help. There are some very knowledgeable folks on this list and they may be able/willing to help. Since there are three layers that have their own handling of "terminal" aspects involved here (putty, screen, and vim..) I would suggest you describe your setup more precisely. You mention a "remote login". I use gnu/screen but since I don't use putty, so I am unable to understand your setup and make an educated guess as to what is running where. You are accessing a Redat9 server from a sarge box, right? What terminal emulator are your using? Where is gnu/screen running? (local/remote box) My extremely vague hunch here is that all three layers may be accessing two different terminfo databases and that there might be differences/incompatibilities between the xterm entries on the two systems.
