most cool. i'll have to study those %.this=%.that patterns and re-scan the info docs for a fifth time. maybe a live example like this will help it sink in. :) > HTH most likely! thanks! -- I use Debian/GNU Linux version 3.0; Linux server 2.4.20-k6 #1 Mon Jan 13 23:49:14 EST 2003 i586 unknown DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #104 from Sean Quinlan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Looking to CUSTOMIZE THE COLORS USED BY LS? I find its easier to run "dircolors -p >~/.dircolors" and then add "eval `dircolors -b ~/.dircolors`" to my .bashrc and then make all changes to ~/.dircolors (instead of the system-wide /etc/DIR_COLORS). Probably more pertinent on a multi user system, but good policy nevertheless.
