You shouldn't need 'ls -l'. Check to see, type 'alias ll' in a
console, EG,
tom $ alias ll
alias ll='ls -l'
It's long been a standard alias that Mandrake uses. To see all
of 'em (including any you've created) just type 'alias'.
For displaying large outputs, use 'll |less' and then you can
Arrow, Page down, or scroll with your mouse down thru the output,
either a page or line at a time. EG,
'll |less /usr/bin'
