Another problem solved, thanks to the NET! Some people asked me to email them my results, and I tried but it bounced (internet mail works well, but UUCP dies regulary). My colormap was corrupted or out of synch and I kept getting a "X Toolkit Error: cannot allocate colormap entry..." when I said " -fg blue" for instance. (this is on a DecStation 3100). To rebuild the data base, make sure you have a good copy of rgb.txt; format is: <red value> <g val> <b val> <colorname> and then say: rgb rgb <rgb.txt That will create a new rgb.pag and rgb.dir. I rebooted to make it take effect; I suspect you can simply restart X, or maybe even issue a command to make the change take effect (it doesn't work without doing something!). Bob Rose TCI
