Replying to myself. It's not the default, but at some point I added export GREP_OPTIONS='--color=auto' to my ~/.bash_profile. There is also a GREP_COLORS variable. It seems to me that the environment variables would be preferred to alias as they are more general. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
