Very Computer

O.K.  This sounds like it should be easy, but I can't figure it out.  I
want my ls to print dir info in color.  You know, with execs one color,
sym links another etc.  Well, I have a DIR_COLORS file in my etc dir.  I
tried putting it as .dir_colors for yucks.  I restarted my session, and
nothing.  I know the files are set correctly (according to the man
page), and still nothing.  What can I do?  It must be my color
environment is being over ridden somewhere but where?  I am using RedHat
linux.  If anyone has any ideas I am all ears.  Thank you.

I put an alias in my .bashrc in the root dir that says : alias ll =
'ls -ask --colour'
I'm not sure about the "alias ll = " I don't know it by heart, but you'll
see it when you look at the file.
Just enter emacs .bashrc in the console right after you login. then you'll
see a couple of aliases already entered in the file just insert yours after
the last alias. That should work !

alias ls="ls --color=tty"

alias ls    ls-F
set   color=ls-F

optionally you can define colors yourself:

setenv LS_COLORS 'di=1'    # directories

see the tcsh man for details
