Actually, I prefer the current behavior. If for some reason my terminal gets into a strange mode where the color of the text is changed and difficult to read, all I need to do is run an 'ls' command, and the colors will be restored to normal. I can see where these extra characters might be a concern back in the day when we were all using 300 baud modems, but in today's high-speed environments, are these extract escape sequences really hurting anything? -- Mark Galbraith CERT UNIX Application Engineer Data Return LLC _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
