Fair enough - when Ben reads this, hopefully he'll
confirm it... :-)

Well, as far as I'm concerned... oh, hell, let's put
this in terms of the language I'm programming in here
at work:
0010 IF LS$=DIR$ THEN LET LSDASHC$=DIRSLASHW$

Bonus points if you can guess the language... :-)

But seriously - as far as I'm concerned, ls and dir
are the same, as well as ls -C and dir/w (for my
purposes, anyway) - but what did you mean about the
[]?  you mean the ones surrounding the directories in
the dir output?  If so, you got me - although I'm
gonna have to try playing around with that cmd
command, see what I can get out of it...
