Hello 

Environment: cygwin 1.1.2 on NT 4.0

When I make a directory listing using colours (ls --color -F), I get 
the expected display; the different entry types are in the colours as 
defined. Now I pipe the output to less and the colours disappear. 
Instead the corresponding escape sequence is written to the screen as 
pointed out in the following example:

Output of 'ls --color -F':
     Temp/
Output of 'ls --color -F | less':
     ESC[01;36mTempESC[0m/

Is this the expected behaviour?

Thanks for any hint.

Severin Mathis
