At the command prompt type "ls -a" without the quotes, in the directory you are trying to look at. Or I could type "ls -a /home/kent" for example, to see the "." files in my home directory. To learn more about linux commands do a search online for linux and you will come up with a million places. Your commands are in /bin and /sbin directories. Run "man ls" or example to find out more about "ls" Take a look at --http://www.debian.org/~hp/tutorial/debian-tutorial.html/index.html hth, kent
