This is configurable by the ~/.Xresources:
XTerm*rightScrollBar: true
XTerm*scrollBar: true
XTerm*multiScroll: true
IIRC there's some for the color, too. do a "man xterm" !

you have 16 colors that you can set with the ANSI sequences.
(try a "/bin/ls --color | less -n" to see it)
I you say vim: use color 'red' then its color #4. xterm.color4 then
actually maps this color to a RGV value for your monitor.

strange - xterm offers you *three* degrees of each color, rxvt only
two (bold, underline and normal, I think are choosable, in rxvt two
are shown the same....) You should be able to set this with xterm.color*

you mean moving the cursor while beeing in input mode ? That's a
vim thing and has nothing to do with xterm (i thing:-))
Here it's working wonderfull btw.
I think it's standard with vi so maybe clean all your vim files,
and install the most recent version.

I had similar problems, too. I did:
1. only use xterm (more memory but it's simply better)
2. use "export TERM=xterm-debian"
3. in my ~/.Xresources inserted:
! Debians xterm
*VT100.Translations: #override ~Meta \
<Key>BackSpace: string("\177")\n\
<Key>Delete: string("\033[3~")\n\
<Key>Home: string("\033OH")\n\
<Key>End: string("\033OF")
4. Then you have to configure pine to use the following codes for home,end:
home: [H
end: [F
Be carefull, if you press (in vim) ctrl-v and then home you will get
^[OH and then you have to modify it to ^[[H. (^[ is ESC). I don't know
why it is, but my .lesskey file only works that way.
