Hi Jon
You can add any color that's in the rgb.txt file to your wterm. I have
recently found out that options of xterm equally aply to wterm.
That is, if you want to set a wterm window with a blue background, try
wterm -bg blue (look in rgb.txt yo've got some stuff in it!)
You want to get white characters with your green background while you
open, let's say, an PINE session:
wterm -bg green -fg white -e pine
man xterm for more infos...
