Hello Giorgos,

Sorry, I have RTFM and am perhaps a bit thick.  (Actually, don't
comment on that one :^)

1)  What is CLICOLOR_FORCE supposed to be defined as?  Is setting it
to something like "1" valid?

2)  I don't understand what multi-colum output (-C) has to do with
color.  :^(

I generally use SecureCRT to ssh into my FreeBSD box on my LAN; since
SecureCRT can't send a termtype of xterm or xterm-color, I've tried
putty as well.  Neither have worked.

Could you offer a little bit more help?

Thanks,

brian
