Put setenv LSCOLORS ExGxdxdxCxDxDxBxBxegeg in the csh's initialisation file (typically ~/.cshrc for local use, /etc/csh.cshrc for global effect) and maybe setup an alias: alias ls 'ls -FG' alias ll 'ls -laFG' However, ls should provide colored output even if you don't set the $LSCOLORS variable. It should work with the default terminal emulation (cons25 or cons25l1). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
