I'm not sure what 'dir /ad' does. You can show all files (including those
that start with ".") with 'ls -a'. Type 'ls --help' or 'man ls' for more
info about the ls command.

Not is ls, per se. I usually use the find command like this:

'find . -mode 4755 | xargs ls -l'

'man find' for more info about find.

Good luck!
