Sorry for not getting back to you. I got a nasty cold and then it was
Easter, after that I could not find the script I tested rxvt with...
256colors2.pl works fine.
% echo $TERM
rxvt
AFAIK terminfo is set up correctly. I know for a fact that rxvt has 256
color support because configure outputs:
--enable-256-color
And my ebuild (I'm using Gentoo) has,
####################################

--enable-rxvt-scroll \

--enable-xterm-scroll \

in it's econf section.
