Most versons of ls work for me, but I do have an older machine running
ISC 4.0 (Interactive Unix) which does not handle -1. How much of a
problem is it to parse the results of ls with a whitespace separator
rather than newline?
On a related point, my .profile is geared up to being sourced
interactively or not. The latter just sets environment variables.
Interactive things like calling stty and aliasing cd to change the
xterm title are within the condition "if tty -s && [ -z "$DT" ]". The
DT variable is set during CDE session startup. Am I going to be able
to add a similar test to know when rcp.el is in charge?
