I don't understand the concept of the environment variable (in this case - i think - LS_COLORS) and when i try 'set LS_COLORS --COLOR' it does nothing at all. I've tried to create a file (something.txt) with the options from ' dircolors --print-database' and then give all the values to LS_COLORS but I get error messages like: token is missing in line 7 and other stuff like it.
