Thanks, everyone, for your input. Derek mentions colors as well:
alias ls='ls -aF --color=tty' If you don't like the default colors, you can set LS_COLORS with your own settings. The easiest way to do that is with the dircolors(1) command. Neat trick I learned from slackware. :) Yeah, since I've started using Linux those wacky colors are there, and some are inappropriately light or weird as defaults. I didn't know where to go to figure out what they mean or how to modify them. I didn't see anything in the man pages, at least not under the ls command. But now I guess I can try out Derek's suggestion above and see if it works the same for SuSE... --Michael ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
