But I was complaining about the default. Its also not practical to modify every machine I have to administer in a working week - or desirable for me to confuse other admins by changing things on a persistent basis, so 'unalias ls' is a quick way to ensure I can at least read the session. If the default wasn't dark blue it wouldn't be an issue, I cant be alone in finding the dark blue unreadable on a black background on most monitors. Jon
