 Thanks Kevin

I have tried the ls -FG option, but it doesn't work. That's what led me to
the conclusion that I needed colorls. I have installed gnuls, (still have to
read the man page yet) but that seems to be working, an LS gives colors to
certain files. I added that gnuls alias too if you are reading this Dev :)
Thanks again
I will explore the option of CLICOLOR - haven't heard of that one before, I
ll look it up and give it a try. Thanks for the tip.

Andy

ls -FG, or set CLICOLOR in your environment;  I just have
"alias ls ls -FG" in ~/.cshrc .....
