Hi
term is set to xterm. If I do ls -l --color (or set the ls alias to do so),
the listing is indeed in colour.

What does `echo $TERM' say? "xterm" doesn't support color -- but "rxvt"
does. Try:
export TERM=rxvt
when you're using rxvt. Use TERM=cygwin when you use the
bash-in-a-command.com window.
