The simplest way I can see to do it, would be to:
- make a bash script called "ls"
- put it in your ~/bin directory (not in /bin)
- make an alias to _your_ ls, which first checks for a descript.ion file
or maybe even .comments file in the current directory, and then passes
the rest to ls.
A bit of fiddling, but that's what linux is about - if it doesn't work
the way you want it: make it work the way you want it!!
Let me know if you want to know more about this method.
