Hi D-Man,

Good suggestion. I wasn't thinking about using the alias option in
my ~/.bashrc. I just use the --colors options in there but I will set
'la' as alias for 'sl' thanks to your suggestion.

Aliases are better than symlinks because it doesn't muck up your
filesystem.  (see man bash)  'la' is more commonly aliased to 'ls -a',
but personally I don't use that.

Hi,

I found that I type 'la' by mistake more often than 'sl', so I made
symlink for sl to la.  :-) I Love that train coming down the track! Ok,
so there's no track. Maybe that could be in a future version of sl? 
Anyway, I love that choo-choo.

To err is human, but to really foul things up you need a computer.
