Hi term is set to xterm. If I do ls -l --color (or set the ls alias to do so), the listing is indeed in colour.

"xterm" doesn't support color -- but "rxvt" does. Try: export TERM=rxvt when you're using rxvt. Use TERM=cygwin when you use the bash-in-a-command.com window. --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
