Its not aterm - its vim vim might not like $TERM that is set by aterm - try : export TERM=rxvt or export TERM=aterm cheers Sasha David Taylor <knet@MailAndNews.com>@afterstep.org on 11/17/2000 06:25:51 AM Please respond to as-users@afterstep.org Sent by: as-users-owner@afterstep.org To: as-users@afterstep.org cc: Subject: Re: aterm/vim syntax highlighting Albert Dorofeev wrote: > > On Thu, Nov 16, 2000 at 09:11:23AM +1100, David Taylor wrote: > > Just a quick question. > > > > Why can I use colours at the shell but not in vim when using aterm? > > > > The syntax highlighting in vim is turned into a combination of boldface > > and underline, whereas it works fine in xterm and rxvt. > > Strange. It works fine for me. Try to see what your aterm sets > as the terminal type: The terminal type is "xterm". The version I'm using is: Usage v0.4.0 :(background image,XPM,utmp,menubar,no backspace,no delete,transparency,no fading,NeXT scrollbar,XGetDefaults) I built if from the source RPM obtained from the sourceforge site. I'm running Mandrake 7.0. And the version of vim I'm using is 5.5. I just can't understand how aterm supports colour "ls" but not colour vim, whereas xterm and rxvt support both. -- knet -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mailing list, simply type the following at # echo "unsubscribe as-users <your_email>" | mail majordomo@afterstep.org -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mailing list, simply type the following at # echo "unsubscribe as-users <your_email>" | mail majordomo@afterstep.org
