Hello,

I'm trying to get green text on a black background. All I can get is white
text on a black background.
This means that the xterm is ignoring the color codes that TN5250 is
sending to it.
exec xterm -name "xt5250" -bg black -fg darkGoldenrod4 +ah -cr plum -T
"xt5250 - $XT5250_HOST" \
+sb -tn xterm-5250 -geometry 80x25 -e "$0" -BOOT -y IBM-3477-FC "$@"
My suggestion.... instead of setting the color with -bg, -fg, -cr,
etc... try removing the '-tn xterm-5250' from the script. This -tn
switch tells it to use the xterm-5250 termcap definition -- and as far
as I know, we do not create an xterm-5250 termcap for NetBSD or OpenBSD,
so I wonder if it's falling back to a default terminal type that doesn't
support color?
Try removing the "-tn xterm-5250" from the script -- that should have it
use the default definition for an xterm, which I hope will lead to
TN5250 being able to tell xterm what colors to display.
As James mentioned, green text on black background with white for bold
is the DEFAULT color output by tn5250... you shouldn't have to change
anything to get those settings.
That's why I suspect the -tn xterm-5250 might be messing you up.
