Hi Adam

Your output suggests that your terminal type is set to ANSI (TERM=ansi),
yet ansi is not colorizable according to /etc/DIR_COLORS.

Okay, that makes sense. My terminal is indeed set to "ansi", mostly out of ignorance, not because I really want it set that way. I administer my servers from my PowerBook, which is great except for what I would consider a somewhat lackluster terminal program, and by lackluster I mean that it is a lot less flexible than, say, PuTTY. Perhaps you can shed some light on what the best setting is for the "TERM" variable?

Thanks for the help!
