-;; This allows you to run ls --color=yes in shell-mode. In order to
-;; test this, proceed as follows:
-;;
-;; 1. start a shell: M-x shell
-;; 2. load this file: M-x load-library RET ansi-color RET
-;; 3. activate ansi-color: M-x ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on
-;; 4. test ls --color=yes in the *shell* buffer
+;; This allows you to run ls --color=yes in shell-mode. It is now
+;; enabled by default; to disable it, set ansi-color-for-comint-mode
+;; to nil.

;; Note that starting your shell from within Emacs might set the TERM
;; environment variable. The new setting might disable the output of
;; SGR control sequences. Using ls --color=yes forces ls to produce
;; these.
