Oh! Excellent! It was backwards from what I want though. When I set the -bg to white, it turned some horrible gray, but I found that by omitting the -bg it stayed white, and the -fg worked to clean up the colors in the letters! I still don't know what causes it to happen on RedHat, but now that I have a fix I'm happy. -- William Colburn, "Sysprog" Computer Center, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology http://www.nmt.edu/tcc/ http://www.nmt.edu/~wcolburn
