Also thanks for the quick replies, one from Renaud, in other emails.

But... (see below)...

I wasn't much mistaken :-) It's relatively close to there:

[ same title as this email ]
https://www.mail-archive.com/dng@lists.dyne.org/msg17871.html
and the _bashrc.gz is at:
https://www.mail-archive.com/dng@lists.dyne.org/msg17871/_bashrc.gz
( whoever runs Mail-Archive.COM, does a good job )

Thanks!

But I'll need to take a deep breath to figure out the nice Bash lines that you
sent to the list. :-)

Anybody got a quick tips page somewhere to find the exact color codes? Else I'm
out of the discussion for now. Too much effort... (and other work awaiting me,
I'm not lazy, but resources of mind energy not limitless, this has started
feeling like mind building exercize --compared to body building--...).

Regards!
