According to 'man ls' the -d option should 'list directories

I doubt this is a Slackware issue and I'm curious why it might not

Rich,
It's working as expected.
"ls" with no arguments lists the contents of the current directory.
"ls -d" with no other arguments lists the current directory, not its
contents, which is of course "."
To expand that on that correct response,
try ls -d */
for an edited example:
michael$ ls -d */
