I read in the Panther Bugs thread that you can run ls -G and get color output in Panther. I'm not seeing it. I tried the default color combinations in the Window Settings, and my declared terminal type is xterm-color.

Works fine for me.

Look in your com.apple.Terminal.plist for something like this:

Code:
	<key>TermCapString</key>
	<string>xterm</string>

The string may be different, but I bet that is the culprit. Delete that set, restart terminal, and see if that works.

Well I deleted that whole key and string, and it didn't do anything. I also tried moving the terminal prefs to the desktop. Still everything is one color.

I found the problem with the help of someone in Apple Discussions.

I use Fink, and Fink prepends the PATH variable with some of its own folders. Well another ls happened to be in the Fink folder, so it was using that (I'm assuming outdated) ls. So I just deleted that ls, now ls -G works fine.

It's really cool

Yah, Fink can fink up your system pretty bad.
