I've setup highlighting using definitions in the "termcap" file of my NT
installation. My file was located /etc/termcap
then changed definitions pertaining to the TERM I am using.
For example:
I changedthis: so=\E[5;47;36m
TO: so=\E[5;43;30m
This gives me a yellow hightlight using black text. (Not sure why the blink
code 5 works but it does)
Cheers,
