Thanks a lot. It's using terminfo and now I got color syntax highlighting
in emacs. But there are only 8 colors available by checking ESC-x
list-colors-display and the colors are mostly dark. How can I get more
colors and more bright colors? I modified the color#8 entry in terminfo
into color#256. But it did not make any difference. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Stan
