For second issue, I seem to remember pipe command, I even used it with DOS...Google it.
For first issue, maybe some settings or preferences somewhere? I use XFCE usually.

Subject: [LINUX_Newbies] Changing file-folder colors and screen output
I am running the terminal version of Ubuntu. I think this is what it is
called. I enter line commands rather than having a gui interface.
Yesterday when I entered 'ls -a' the files and folder names were
colored, i.g., files were a deep blue. It has always been this way. This
morning the print color of files and folders are all white. This makes
it hard to distinguish files from folders. What happened? On the
internet the suggestions were to go into a file and modify some
settings. This seems to be an extreme measure, unless somehow the
dircolors got corrupted. How can I get back to what I had?
As another issue, I think I read somewhere how to control the screen
display of, say, error messages so that it does not scroll all the way
to the bottom. When it scrolls all the way to the bottom I cannot see
the very first top lines if the output is larger than the screen size.
What do I do to control scrolling?
