Re: Simple sh or alias to list directories

[Erik Steffl <steffl@bigfoot.com>]

  using -d for this is confusing like hell because -d is 'well known'
switch in standard unix ls - it lists directory as if it were file, i.e.
does not list the content of the directory (useful with -l), it has no
effect on files (they are listed just like they would be without -d)
