Using tcsh put in ~/.cshrc(or ~./tcshrc or /etc/csh.cshrc) setenv TERM cons25 setenv LSCOLORS exfxbxdxcxegedabagacad (man ls for color scheme above..I modified it from the default...man ls shows default.) also but aliases in the ~/.cshrc or ~/.tcshrc alias ls ls -G alias la ls -Ga alias ll ls -Gla etc This gave me colored ls output. you can also use setenv TERM xterm-color (xterm users?) but this gave me some minor problems with vi. The above (LSCOLORS) allows you to modify default colors but doesn't allow you to set specific colors for certain file types...as far as I can tell, anyway. The man page for tcsh says that you can use the LS_COLORS environment variable to change file color type but I couldn't get it to work. Anywho...this may not be exactly what you were looking for but I hope it helps in some way. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
