Re: do you have a 256 color test you could share?

[Patrick]

Thanks Richard and thanks Bret!

It was my basrc that was the issue.
I had trouble with
export TERM=xterm-256color
on Debian

I changed it to:
export TERM="xterm+256color"
and then later to:
export TERM=rxvt-unicode

So it was the weirdness I introduced.

I have 256 colors and 256 color pairs being reported now.

Thanks again-Patrick
