_________________________________________________________________________
What's wrong is obvious. the file name mchome.rdf is garbled because
it was obtained by the "ls" command which adds on escape sequences
since I've set it to display color-coded files names by putting
ls () { command ls --color $* ; }
in my /etc/profile. The \033 ... are escape sequences for color. So
the fix is to use 'command ls' instead of just 'ls'. This will just
show the file name without the color escapes (\033 is the escape
character).
