This seems like it is a bug in emacs (although these things can be tricky to pinpoint). I am fairly sure non-emacs factors have been set up OK. From the xterm/rxvt, if I run 256colors2.pl (found on the net), I get all the colors showing nicely, verifying that the terminals themselves are set for 256 colors. Running "tput colors" shows 256. My $TERM is xterm-256color. Is this a bug, or is there some configuration I am missing? (I am running emacs built from CVS a couple of weeks ago) Cheers, Len.
