NB: That's strange, do you have dir aliased to dir -l or something? Or maybe your distribution does. According to the dir info page, dir is supposed to be the equivalent of ls -Cb, nothing about long output, so just a plain dir shouldn't list anything but the names, as it does here. But talking about ls... that's what I'm used to seeing. I tend to forget there's even a dir command until I see posts like this.

One of the entries in my /etc/bash_aliases :

$ alias dir
alias dir='ls -aFl --time-style=+"%F %T"'

Of course that has nothing really to do with the issue of the thread, thus the NB, but I found it interesting, none-the-less.
