Dear friends:

When I type "ls" in the console (NOT in xterm), I get the following
data: 

[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.

When I type /bin/ls the problem disappears and all my files and
directories in my home directory are correctly listed.

When I type any command, such as "lynx", or "minicom", or whatever, the
command launches the respective application correctly.

My thanks to Jonathan Dugan for his advice.

Does anyone have any idea why "ls" causes this kind of behavior while
/bin/ls does not? And how to correct it?


Thank you so much.

Benjamin
