Sorry to hijack this thread, but what's always annoyed me with colorls is that it's only of limited use, because as soon as there are more than a screenful of files, I type ls -alF|more (actually ll|more, with ll being an alias for ls -alF), and that obviously means that the colours are not displayed. Is there a way to have a colour ls and still be able to page through it? regards, --ropers
