Hi phrend,
AFAIK the "-F" option to "ls" is for adding the "/", "*" etc at the end of
filenames and the "--color" option is for the color part.
If U want this permanently for all users, add the following to u'r
/etc/profile
alias ls="ls -F --color"
I U want this only for u'rself put the line in ~/.profile (the .profile
file in u'r home directory)
So go ahead and ensoy...
HTH ... Narain.

Whenever we do 'ls', the list of files including the directories
are displayed. But in some places it was noticed that the directories (or
subdirectories) are shown in coloured fonts or with a '/' behind, to
distinguish them from ordinary files. What settings we have to do in our
XConfig file or elsewhere to get this feature?
