"ls" originally came from the Multics operating system and stood for=
=20
"list segments". Unix was written (in part) as an effort to simplify Mult=
ics=20
and, hence, some of the command names were inherited.
I simply think of "ls" as a funny spelling of "list" and even though=
this=20
is inaccurate, it helps me get the job done.
For Kurt Granroth:
Cool, I didn't know Konqueror was that smart. The interface is=20
immeasurably better than info's which I can never remember, anyway. I've=20
hereby been converted from "info" to "konqueror".
My sincere thanks for the tip!
