Hi,

I'm wondering if anybody can tell me how I can change
the termcap so that bold is simply bold, rather than
reverse video with blue background. I normally have bold 
in my prompt, and I find it pretty ugly with reverse video.
Also reading man pages is an eyesore.

I currently use the pc3 termcap entry, but would rather
something like vt100, vt220, etc. I tried editing the
vt100 entry in /usr/share/misc from so=2\E[7m to 
so=2\E[1m but that didn't make any difference.

Could anybody lead me to a better termcap entry, or tell me 
how to change say the current vt100 entry to get what I 
want?

Thanks

gollum
