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.
