 Bob,

   edit /etc/DIR_COLORS, find the line
COLOR tty

 and change it to:

COLOR none

 That'll change the behavior on text screens. Do the same to the file
/etc/DIR_COLORS.xterm to make the change on xterms.

 If you want to just change the color choices, these are the file that you
want to modify, just look a little further downand you'll see the line:

# Below are the color init strings for the basic file types.

 read the comments and you can mess with the fie types and color choices
until you find something that works.

Have fun,
 Dave Gavin
