Try to put this into your /etc/csh.cshrc for global or ~/.cshrc for
local effect:

	setenv  LSCOLORS        ExGxdxdxCxDxDxBxBxegeg
	alias   ls              'ls -FG'
	alias   ll              'ls -laFG'

Read "man ls" for the colour description. Make sure your terminal
emulation supports color; xterm and cons25l1 do.
