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. > And is there anything as cool as a wildcard for file modes like all > executeables? 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!
