Try using M-x customize to set the value of your Default face (under Faces, Basic Faces) to light yellow on dark green, and save it for future sessions. This will put something like (custom-set-faces '(default ((t (:foreground "light yellow" :background "dark green"))))) in your .emacs file. --Greg At 11:14 PM +0000 4/22/02, Klas Nordberg wrote: >Recently, I installed RedHat Linux 7.2 without any major problems, and I >got emacs version 20.7-41 which worked fine.
