Showing them in what context? My first guess is that you're talking about the colors used in the output of 'ls'. If that's correct, check the value of the LS_COLORS environment variable. On a system where the colors show up correctly, it should be one long line with lots of colon-separated entries; on my computer, it's over 1500 charaters long. That variable usually gets populated by the output of 'dircolors' somewhere in the user-profile scripts. Depending on what shell you're using, you may need different options to dircolors, but in my experience it usually tends to get set up correctly by the skeleton user profile. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
