	The new improved ncurses version of the color ls stuff doesn't display
for me if I am in a "normal" xterm. If I set TERM equal to xterm-color
I'm back in business. Is this expected behavior? If so, a note to that
effect in the man page would help reduce user confusion. I'll be happy
to submit a patch if needed. 

	If it isn't expected behavior, where could I be going wrong? I don't do
anything unusual with termcap. 

Thanks,

Doug
