RE ls: When it dosent work: No message -nothing at all. Except a line feed. ls is involked as follows: ls <enter>( I expected the system to tell me where I was [anyway a clue]). Also dir <enter> (for the same reason). Typing -a ls /bin/ls : results in Error msg command -a not found. ls -a <enter>:[ . .. .bash.profile .bashrc .inputrc cygcheck.out]. Any other requests for info will be complied with to the best of my ability. Regards; Hoyt
