Hi - I'm running the following version of emacs and I'm having problems 
getting custom colors to "stick".  It makes no difference whether I 
specify "save for future sessions" or not.

GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)

I'd have added this to my previous post, but my provider doesn't seem to 
think I need the ability to post to the news server.  If someone could 
point me toward a (free) public news server, I'd be most appreciative. 
 I'd really like to get this resolved.  I use Emacs exclusively and the 
white background really bothers my eyes.

Thanks!

Eddie
