Are you talking about when viewing the file in a text editor? If so, I would expect that depends on which editor you use. For vi or vim, you'd have to edit .vimrc. Take a look at this thread. For nano, try this page.

I have colors but when I do a display IE
display 1----normal
then display 2 would be highlighted or in color
display 3 -----normal

All 3 displays come from the the same script
thanks

In that case, I don't know how much I can help you. I'm not too familiar with the display command but just by looking at the man page, there are options for colormap, colors and colorspace. Have you tried those?

Here is the commnd I feed to the script(well really someone and I forget who on here gave me the code):
echo $(ls -t LIT2.0.l2db.NODE0000.CATN0000* |tail -1)

I have found a --color option on the man ls page.
I have tried several ways of putting this option(--color=always is what I'm using) I've tried ls --color=always -t,ls -tcolor=always) but neither have worked. I'm missing something and I'm hoping someone here can help.
Is it possile the echo command is interfering with the color option??
thanks
