Aside from the fact that backspace and delete stopped working, the biggest problem for me is that emacs suddenly has all these colors that make it unsuable. I have compared lisp file and settings inside emacs from both Slackware and Redhat, and they both seem identical. I tried compiling a stock emacs from the source I used to make my Slackware emacs, and it had colors under Redhat. Blue and some kind of purple seem to the favorite color for emacs to use, and tragically I can't read anything in those colors. This has made using the help inside emacs especially painful. I tried using xterm-mono as my TERM, but colors still appear. Does *anyone* know how to turn this off so that I can go back to a readable screen with emacs? -- William Colburn, "Sysprog" Computer Center, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology http://www.nmt.edu/tcc/ http://www.nmt.edu/~wcolburn
