I use color heavily in vim (syntax coloring). My .vimrc says: set t_Co=16 set t_Sf=^[[3%dm set t_Sb=^[[4%dm syntax on set hlsearch highlight Search ctermbg=7 Hard coding it to do 16 colors isn't really right, but it works from all the machines I use to connect to my MacOS X machine, so I didn't bother figuring out the right incantation. I'm using the gnu fileutils in /usr/local/bin, so my ls is an alias to ls='ls --color=auto $*' (that's a zsh alias, your mileage may vary). That will color encode links, folders and directories in your listings. -- Kee Hinckley - Somewhere.Com, LLC http://consulting.somewhere.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate everyone else's.
