Better to use the escape sequences that your terminal supports, like the ones that the terminfo database makes available through tput -- Lew Pitcher Master Codewright & JOAT-in-training | Registered Linux User #112576 http://pitcher.digitalfreehold.ca/ | GPG public key available by request ---------- Slackware - Because I know what I'm doing. ------

Else how would /etc/DIR_COLORS work consistently? Thanks for the heads up about tput, by the way. Looks like I'll be upgrading my quick-n-dirty solution some day. I sure wish I had a wider variety of UNIX/Windows machines to test on! Looking at the man page for terminfo, though, it recommends using ncurses [ color(3NCURSES) ].
