Shell with color in Tiger

Here is how I colorized my shell environment in Mac OS X Tiger:

  1. Added “CLICOLOR” and set it to “1” in the ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist, using the handy environment editor in SSHKeychain
  2. Changed my terminal type to “dtterm” in Terminal’s “Preferences” window.NOT FOUND: TerminalZshAndTerm.jpg

I don’t recall exactly how I got to this point, but I’d never seen a hint that provided color with this level of ease — and I recently fell into a pique of wanting but not having colorized shell output.
