I have been cursing and swearing at my laptop for about 45 minutes here, wondering why when I grep multiple files the filename is not given in the answer (as should be the default when grepping multiple files). It didn't seem to matter if I added -H or any other tricks from man grep. Google didn't help. Then I altered the viewing angle slightly and noticed that the filenames were being reported back, in a purple that is very close the to the black background in my xterm.
D'oh!

Crikey.... If only you hadn't given in to the siren call of pretty colours... Black and white is all you really need.

None of this newfangly *bold* either... If it is worth emphasising you use *punctuation*
