ls doesn't use colour by default (so that you don't get weird looking colour codes on terminals that don't understand them). There is some logic in the bash start up files to decide if your terminal understands colour and alias 'ls' to 'ls --color=always' if it does. This might not be happening with csh. Do you get colour output if you run 'ls --color=always'? I'm not sure what would be wrong with the history navigation using the up/down keys. The man page for csh says these should be set up automatically. The output from 'bindkey' might shed some light: is up bound to up-history? ________________________________________________________ Robert McWilliam [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.ormiret.com If at first you do succeed, try not to look astonished. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
