Ok "\ls" works, I thank you for that ...
How can I change the colors? The problem is that the Blue
directory
listings are very difficult to read and as a result I have
been changing
the xterm fg and bg settings in an attempt to improve things
without
much improvement. If I make the bg white [set to gray now]
then I can't
read some of the yellow text in the man pages. The colors
are helpful
but I need to change them a little. What I really need to
know is what
file contains the color settings? I have been unable to find
that.
Thanks for the help.
