Subject: colorls working with xterm!

I finally got colorls working with the regular xterm!

I did a lot of tinkering, but as far as I can tell, the one that made it
all possible was when I appended

/usr/local/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color

to

/usr/local/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm

and then removed the linke #include "XTerm"  (This is key.)

I restarted X and voila!  colors!

There is probably a more elegant fix, but this works!

Thanks to all for the help.
