You're right William, that's where it is! Thanks very much. I never 
would have guessed.

It seems that the man page for dircolors provided in Slackware 9.0 does 
not match the actual binary provided. The man page describes -p and 
--help options that don't work, and the provided dircolors has a -z 
option that is not described in the man page. There is no indication in 
the man page that it can be used to set aliases.

I'll do that (as I have for other distributions). I just wanted to 
solve the mystery of the default aliases.

Thanks again,
Scott
