To answer you, I use bash or bash2. But in my .login file I have the following line: TERM=xterm-color; export TERM alias x='exit' alias ls='colorls -FG' alias ll='colorls -FGl' alias la='colorls -FGal' In addition, in anything but the first 2 xterm windows that open when starting X, the colorls as well as an alias: alias ts='telnet shell.tht.net' will not work. If you can help me I would be most grateful. Again thanks for your help in advance!!
