I'm grasping at straws here, trying to find what changed when I upgraded my main workstation/server from Slackware-10.0 to -10.1. As part of this upgrade Xfce went from -4.0.2 to -4.2.1, joe went from -2.x to -3.3, and pine went from -4.61 to -4.62. I work primarily in the X Window System and pine is opened in a rxvt virtual terminal. X.org was upgraded from -8.6 to -8.6.1. I use joe as the alternate editor within pine. All the years up to yesterday's upgrades the message composition window was the desired white text on a black background with a wheat cursor. Now it's black on white and in its own xterm. Worse yet, in the pine window I have no visible cursor; it must be black-on-black. My request for insight and assistance is being posted on various application-specific mail lists as well as on the mail list of the local LUG. I'd certainly like to fix this problem as quickly as I can. Thanks, Rich -- Dr. Richard B. Shepard, President Applied Ecosystem Services, Inc.

I'm writing now in pine (with joe, of course), but on a console, not in a virtual terminal. The colors and cursor are correct. Rich -- Dr. Richard B.

The > colors and cursor are correct. It's all fixed. I added foreground, background, and cursor color options to the rxvt virtual terminal command line and those options are reflected in the xterm in which joe runs. Rich -- Dr. Richard B.
