	yeah, i have a lot of problems with ls --color. it doesnt seem to
pay any attention to the color directives i set in dircolors, it wigs out
when i throw it into a pipe and try to cat it into something. kind of a
bummer. i tried the same thing on a slack box and it works without a
hitch. i am guessing that it has something to do with the term type, but i
am just pulling that outta thin air.
