Also thanks for the quick replies, one from Renaud, in other emails. But... (see below)...

I wasn't much mistaken :-) It's relatively close to there: [ same title as this email ] https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg17871.html and the _bashrc.gz is at: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg17871/_bashrc.gz ( whoever runs Mail-Archive.COM, does a good job ) (we're not at the "But...

But I'll need to take a deep breath to figure out the nice Bash lines that you sent to the list. :-) Anybody got a quick tips page somewhere to find the exact color codes? Else I'm out of the discussion for now. Too much effort... (and other work awaiting me, I'm not lazy, but resources of mind energy not limitless, this has started feeling like mind building exercize --compared to body building--...).
