Dear Matt and friends:
I have isolated the problem, thanks to Matt Stegman's latest suggestion:
When I type in the console ( but NOT in xterm):
\ls (backspace plus "ls") I get a correct listing of all my files and
directories
Same when I type alias ls. A full listing of files and directories
Same when I type /bin/ls. A full listing of files and directories
My only problem is when I type "ls" by itself. Then I get the following
strange 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.
