I'm using - and appreciating! - NCSA Telnet 2.4.19. Yes, I know there's
a v2.5, and I'll get around to installing it real soon. 

However...

I'd like to set the screen colour to dark blue, the text to yellow. I
can do this for a session without problems ('Color' from the 'Session'
menu) but I can't seem to save these settings; display reverts to b/w
the next time the application is run. 

The Config file contains:

nfcolor="{0,0,0}"		# normal, foreground (Mac II)
nbcolor="{65535,65535,65535}"	# normal, background (Mac II)
bfcolor="{0,0,0}"		# blink, foreground (Mac II)
bbcolor="{65535,65535,65535}"	# blink, background (Mac II)

so it seems clear the display can be changed permanently. 

At last to the question - is there any way of recording my new colour
settings in the format required by the Config. file? Do I have to set
random values until one looks OK? (Surely not...?) My 256 colour blue is
standard intensity-slider-at-the-top dark blue; same for the yellow.

Help and advice appreciated!
