Bill,

I found the rgb.txt file on the system. But in YDL 5 it is located in 
/usr/share/X11 not as you suggested.  The file comes from the package 
xorg-x11-server-utils-1.0.1-1.2.  Maybe the color definition comes from 
another file or maybe xemacs is not configured correctly to find the 
file?  Thanks for your suggestions.
