Dear friends:

I am experiencing a strange bash error IN THE CONSOLE ONLY, that is in
the real console, NOT in xterm. 

At the user prompt (even after reboot), I type pwd, and I get the
correct answer:

$/home/sher

But when I type "ls" I get a long series of similar lines listing all
the contents of my home directory as follows:

[home/sher]$ls
bash: 34mDesktop: command not found
bash: command not found
bash: lynx_bookmarks.html: command not found
bash: command not found
bash: 34mwp80 command not found
bash: command not found

etc. etc.

Every file or directory in my home/sher directory is listed. Some have a
number plus "m" prefixed to them (usually 34m or 31m) and others just
list the file name.

I don't have the faintest idea what this means. Could someone please
enlighten me on this.

Thank you so much.

Benjamin
