Thanks a lot, your tip works, but now I have a new problem: the colors
are gone when I run the command. For example, when you run 'ls', there
are different colors to distinguish the folders, text files,
executables, etc, but it's all only one color now (in my case green
because my setup is green on black). How can I make the different colors
appear?
