So you basically distinguish it by inspecting your $TERM variable.
First
determine in both situations what your $TERM is set to, then put

Ah, I mis-read the post. Clearer now :)
Thanks for your help. unfortunately, none of these suggestions work.
If I had some way of changing $TERM from cons25 to xterm-256color
when Xorg starts
up, that would work.
I tried putting export TERM="xterm-256color" in my .xinitrc file but
it doesn't
change.
I also tried exporting it from Window Maker's
~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/autostart file but that didn't work
either.
I can't get it to change from cons25
This seems very strange. $TERM is usually set appropriately by your
terminal program in X.
Are you sure something else isn't changing it, e.g. ~/.profile,
~/.bashrc, /etc/profile (or other rc files for your shell)? Or is there
an option in the GUI for your X terminal that has been incorrectly set
to make $TERM something it shouldn't be?
You are using Vim in a terminal, either in the console or in an X
terminal, right? Not Gvim.
Ben.
Thank you very much. It's working now. I was setting TERM manually in my
~/.bashrc and that was screwing it up.
I took it out, used cons25 and xterm in my ~/.vimrc file and now,
everything's working beautifully.
Thank you all so much for your help.
Regards,
Steve Laurie
