agreed, the default color scheem is less than desirable in an xterm window, but not toooo bad in in a console.
I was using Konsole, actually.
The man page (here I go again) indicates that the colors are user definable and exist in ~/.pinforc and/or /etc/pinforc. Examples are given. In fact, you may redefine the default key-bindings and some options.
I'd assumed it was so, but didn't bother looking for the details because I still don't care for non-linear text for purposes of this kind of document. The man pages are still my preferred format. I resort to the "info" system only when the man page indicates that it is incomplete and that for full details I must refer to the info documents.
man pages seem to provide a veritable wealth of information <grin>.
As ever.
