"ls" finds file1 but "ls file1" does not. How can this happen?
The following example occurred just after I had renamed some *.htm files to *.html using an ash shell script. No such problem occurred, however, when I used DOS "rename" to make the same change. (Windows XP Pro SP 2)
Does Windows have some kind of special handling for the extension .htm?

a bit of exploration follows:

The only difference here from a correctly working directory is that the correctly working directory does not have execute permissions
