I am trying to put color in some of my messages (I am using
Xwindows ). One place where I found mention of color is in the manual
page of the ls command (search in there for the string "COLOR". I
picked a window and in it set TERM to xterm-color and exported it,
set CLICOLOR to a nonnull value and exported it, set LSCOLORS to the
default value mentioned there and exported it. Did an ls -l but it
showed up as usual. Then tried changing TERM to cons25 (also
mentioned in the man page) and exported it. Still nothing.
Can anyone direct me to documentation that will tell me how to
insert color in messages, both the fone and the backgroun, or write to me
how to do it? Thanks in advance.
