Ivan, You are absolutly correct. I really apologize for wasting everyone's time with this trivial question. I've seen several warnings about doing that sort of thing but I was lost. Also Ian's remarks regarding the alias for 'ls -laF' was correct. The 'F' appends special characters to identify file types in the listing. I guess I have a long way to go. Thanks again to everyone for the help.
