I have a script which goes out and converts all my filenames (/home/user/) with spaces into filenames with underscores. I also convert them to lower case. There is something messed up in my .dir_colors file. I just thought it was interesting that for f in `ls dog*` doesn't work but for f in `find dog*` does work.
