        Not possible, nor would you want to.

        Examples are coming. Are you comparing this against the 
current manpages in 0.12.0-pre2? Or the older ones in 0.11.8? They've 
been completely tossed, and rewritten (mostly) from scratch.

        Because 'u' is not an option that dlpsh takes.

        I agree somewhat, but this isn't a list of files, so it can't 
mirror the output that you're used to with 'ls', since the Palm does 
not have "files" on it, in RAM or ROM. They are databases with records 
and resources, and not files with inodes and clusters and such.

        Your other points are well taken though, I'll see what I can 
do. 

        You are reporting all of these in the _pilot-link_ bugtracker, 
right? Because so far, none of these are being tracked (and they'll 
probably be long forgotten once these messages are sent).

        They most-certainly are options, and will remain so. 

        dlpsh also runs in non-interactive mode, so this validates 
that.

        This does absolutely nothing on 0.11.8 or 0.12.x, so I'm not 
sure what you'd expect it to do. That's also not something *ANY* user 
that I've ever spoken with in 9 years of using pilot-link, has ever 
even suggested trying, so I don't want to suggest that as an example.

        We don't have an email address for reporting bugs.

        pilot-link bugs are reported at bugs.pilot-link.org, period.
