A bit off topic, but it may sometime it'll help someone, so ...

The problem I was having for such a long time on Solaris and plaguing
Larry and the list about was that after exiting Lynx the "text" color,
and, worse the background color of the status bar when I used Rob's
style sheet code, would stay on the screen. Normally when I log in, my
screen is white text on a black screen. It's always been that way since
I started off with a funky telnet on Fujitsu FMR70s. Thought it was some
kind of default. Not true -- it has to do with the emulation -- some you
can change, others are hard coded in.

Anyway, dinging around with my terminfo descriptor, I thought wouldn't
it be neat if rather than 8 colors, I could use 16. Well that did it! No
more "sticking" of colors. AND 256 pairs of colors! All I did was change
"colors#8, pairs#64," to "colors#16, pairs#256,". What a discovery.

BTW, I think Dave or someone asked about different problems I was having
with vi when I moved up to a new hardware version of Solaris. Upgrading
to a newer "screen" and replacing the termcap description for it solved
all those problems.                       ^^^
