I have this in my .bashrc file;

-----------------------
if [ $TERM = tw100 ] ; then
	LS_COLORS='no=00;30:fi=00;30'
	export LS_COLORS
fi
-----------------------

it changes "no" and "fi" codes back to correct colors.

We made 'dircolors' to regognice tw100 as terminal capable to use colors.
If you run dircolors with TERM=stv52 (or stv52) it should do nothing and
if TERM=tw100 you should get loooong list of defined codes.
