jdow:

So factory setting .bashrc does have it aliased to something? What is it?

I remember seeing certain files or directories colorized to some color 
over black which, in my opinion, is visually difficult to read and I've 
been following the thread with the hopes of seeign a solution. I don't 
mind, and actually like, colored text on a white background for dirs, 
links, excutables, whatever. Its just that one bad combination that I 
want to get rid of.

And I can't tell how it becomes that color except I am thinking it might 
relate to directories created under cygwin?

Wish I had my machine to test with rather than asking questions based on 
memory (and running the risk of having a senior moment in my memory)

Thanks,
Paul
