> please explain...I think he is proposing that you change your shell to zsh since he favors that shell? An advocacy thing. Then the next part says create a function in the shell that calls ls with options. I am coming in late to this thread and did not read the original posting. My I reverse that advocacy and say to use bash instead and just use aliases? I think zsh has aliases too. alias ls='ls --color=auto --classify' Much simpler that creating the shell function. But actually I do not prefer color and turn that off myself. I have randomly colored terminals and the color always clashes somewhere. Bob
