Hi :) Not sure about most of that but point 2 ls is the same as ls . and ls ./
it's just a bit of cleverness to try to get around weird limitations. There shouldn't be any difference but what should be and what is are sometimes different. >From the summary, i agree that it would be nice to have a neat little gui program to point&click on but the point being made here was that its an incredibly trivial thing to do and multiple easy ways of doing it without going to much effort at all. Despite it being really trivial in LO/AOO and probably other office suites and programs it's an option apparently not offered by MS Office and therefore considered "rocket science". It might be nice to point it out in consultation exercises.
