changing the colors "ls" uses

[Al Sparks <data345 yahoo com>]

This is a trivial problem, but it bothers me that my tweaking has no
affect despite documentation on the system 
   $ info ls
and
   $ info dircolors

Anyway, I'm trying to change the behavior of the "ls" command,
specifically how it displays filename colors based on the file
extension.

I first 
   $ dircolors ?p > some_file
I edit the file.  Then I
   $ dircolors some_file

I also 
   $ echo $LS_COLORS
to ensure the changes take affect with regards to the variable
assignment.

When I list a file extension, it retains the original color assignment.

Any suggestions?
