I am trying to migrate to FreeBSD from Linux, but some things just
aren't working the way I'd like.

When I launch an xterm it honours my .bashrc, and I get my custom prompt,
which includes colour, but no other colour seems to work - not vim, not
ls -G, not mutt.

In the console, however, I never get the prompt or the aliases specified
in my .bashrc, and I never get colour.  Any pointers?  Thanks.

William
