However, the terminfo database (as included with ncurses-5.7) doesn't know about it. It has only the following entry: ,---- | # The codes supported by the term.el terminal emulation in GNU Emacs 19.30 | eterm|gnu emacs term.el terminal emulation, `---- Is there any reason why terminfo shouldn't know about eterm-color? Otherwise, I could ask the ncurses maintainers to include the entry. BTW, there is also http://www.eterm.org/ which is an xterm replacement. It has an entry "Eterm-color" (note the capital E) in the terminfo database. Still, this (almost) name clash is a bit unfortunate. Ulrich
