Hi.  If the above works on your system, then you are running fileutils-3.12
and my color-ls package which is obsolete as of fileutils-3.13.  When you do
upgrade to fileutils-3.13, you will need to do something different along the
lines of my previous posting.

Anyway, I'm glad you have it working.

Syrus.

Hi Syrus,

Yes, I just checked with dpkg and it reports fileutils 3.12-4, so that
explains that. The latest version you mentioned (3.13) doesn't appear to be
on the Debian ftp mirror I'm using, so I'll hang fire for a while. Right
now everything's working great, so if it ain't broke... but I've filed your
messages for when I do eventually upgrade.

Many thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Chris
