On a B&W display, there are two colors, black, and white. If you ignore the fact that you're on a B&W display, and try to use _other_ colors, then Gerd says it will try to pick the `nearest' supported color instead; I guess this means that `dark looking' colors will show up as black, and `light looking' colors will show up as white. For pictures this will probably end up looking awful, but for simple high-contrast stuff, it may work quite well. > So I agree that it's best and safest to use simple ascii-chars on > displays for which > > (and (display-images-p) (not (or (display-color-p) (display-grayscale-p)))) That seems unnecessarily conservative, but whatever, you're doing the work... -Miles -- Next to fried food, the South has suffered most from oratory. -- Walter Hines Page
