Subject: Add "lisp/term/screen-256color.el" for GNU Screen's 256 color mode?

Message-ID: <22117277.post@talk.nabble.com> (raw)
Last year Trent W. Buck posted to emacs-devel notes about GNU Screen's 256
color mode and Emacs. To have Emacs recognize the "screen-256color" terminal
and its full range of colors, the file "term/screen-256color.el" needs to be
in the load path. Trent wrote as follows:

Could this be added as "lisp/term/screen-256color.el" to Emacs CVS, so it
works out of the box for everyone? Having 256 colors in the terminal as
opposed to 8/16 makes a world of difference in code coloring.
(Note: GNU Screen must be compiled with --enable-color256 and have "term
screen-256color" in "$HOME/.screenrc" for 256 colors to be used.)
