+$TERM, ncurses/terminfo and how to make xterm display colors
+------------------------------------------------------------
 
-The xterm distributed with Solaris is a basic xterm (xterm-r6), whereas this
-is a current xterm and supports a wider range of terminal capabilites.
-To keep CSWncurses compatible with the Solaris xterm, TERM=xterm refers
-to the basic xterm-r6 capabilities, which unfortunately also defeats
-color support in some ncurses-based applications.
+The xterm distributed with Solaris is a basic xterm (xterm-r6), whereas the
+xterm distributed by OpenCSW is a current xterm and supports a wider range of
+terminal capabilites. Both terminals, per default, identify as TERM=xterm.
 
-To make full use of the capabilities of this xterm (including color-support)
-set TERM=xterm-new. You might then however experience problems when 
-SSH'ing to machines where xterm-new isn't known to terminfo ("terminal not
-fully functional" messages). That's the main reason TERM=xterm-new hasn't
-been compiled in as a default by the way.
+To stay compatible with the Solaris xterm, CSW's terminfo treats TERM=xterm as
+a basic xterm-r6, which unfortunately also defeats color support in some
+ncurses-based applications.
+
+If you have CSW's ncurses/terminfo installed and want to make full use of the
+capabilities of this xterm (including color-support) set
+
+  TERMINFO=/opt/csw/share/terminfo
+  TERM=xterm-new
+
+As a side effect, you might notice problems when SSH'ing to machines where
+xterm-new isn't known to terminfo ("terminal not fully functional" messages).
+That's the main reason TERM=xterm-new hasn't been compiled in as a default for
+CSW's xterm in the first place.
+
+
+Note: X resource files in /opt/csw/lib/X11/app-defaults
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+Although this package delivers some X resource files in
+/opt/csw/lib/X11/app-defaults/ this folder is not evaluated by the
+Solaris libXt per default. 
+
+Either treat them as example files and copy and paste what you need into
+your system / personal X resource files or set XFILESEARCHPATH /
+XUSERFILESEARCHPATH to honor this directory.
