There are two files that can be edited: /etc/DIR_COLORS, which is the
global settings for the system, and ~/.dircolors. the files are pretty
well commented, so choosing different colors and adding new ones isn't
very hard. Of course, that's how it is on Linux, I don't know if Irix
will be exactly the same.
