(What do you mean by "backgrounds are treated specially"?)

I got slang and built it, then edited makefile and
built lynx2.6 for 'sun4-slang'.
I again tried various settings for the COLOR options in lynx.cfg with no effect.

(Actually, there was one difference -- the highlighted text on the
currently selected link is now black on red.  (Yuk.)  This doesn't change
no matter what I do to the color options.  That's using TERM=vt220.
When TERM=ansi, the screen is the same as in lynx2.5.)

Obviously someone else has colors working.  What am I doing wrong?
Suggestions welcome.
Thanks.
