Good, however you should not really need to use ansi-mode. I do not, and don't have the trouble you mentioned. In normal shell-mode (M-x shell) I do see the escape sequences you mention but not in eshell (M-x eshell). I think, if you post on gmane.emacs.help with what you are experiencing someone will be able to help you identify, what in your OS setup is causing the problem. I did notice one thread where the user ended up discovering somekind of alias to ls that was causing his problem. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.help/39496/focus=39505 Typing `alias' in an xterm might reveal something. Here I see: alias ls='ls --color=auto' as the only reference to ls. Posting there with your exact problem would probably be best. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
