Suhaib,

Thanks for the screen dump and PS1.  However, your prompt does not 
have colors in it.  Have you tried setting your prompt to what I use, 
to see if it works?  try this, please:
export PS1='\e[1m\@ \e[0;31m\u\e[m \W \! #'


How do I get the colors for the directory listings?  I can then see 
if that works for me.
