Here is an additional item related to terminal-mode Emacs that
might be worth mentioning:

   A better display of colors, underlining, etc. can be obtained
   in the terminal mode Emacs by making use of the terminfo file
   that is included in the Emacs distribution:

/usr/share/emacs/23.0.92/etc/e/eterm-color

I tried your suggestion and couldn't see that it improved anything. My reading of the documentation is that eterm-color is intended to be used by emacs when it does terminal emulation via 'M-x term'. See the info node

(emacs)Top > Shell > Terminal emulator
