[Eug-lug] To Horst-Q/colours

[walter fry]

thanks 4 your interest.. My text.ed is GDM2 (gnome ver.=2.5.90.2 last 
up.d.=2/12/4 ) I was using the right click in the fedora main screen which 
says "open terminal" and that gives me a command line where I entered " ls 
-lh " this gives me the permissions some text.. and some stuff in colour, 
that is what got my interest, I wanted to know what it meant, and I was 
wondering from where this colour coding was controled.  That stuff about 
escape sequences is totally puzzeling to me particularly since I could not 
find any reference in any of my books. perhaps I'm just not smart enough to 
know how to look it up. There is soooo much stuff in there,  sometimes I 
wonder if it is really worth the trouble and frustration, to spend so much 
time in front of a dumb box of rocks and make such slow progress. It might 
be wiser to go back to my 286 where I was better than I am here.          
WF.
