I have a different feeling - I cannot write with an editor without a blue
background from my beginning with Turbo Pascal 5.5 :-), and although I
spent a lot of hours on creating and tuning themes for the pspg, I still
prefer the mc theme, and some themes look really nice. But I cannot work
with it.

Thank you very much for your work - I hope so this will be an interesting
feature of psql
