i see you've used a unix system recently:

$ echo *
bin dead.letter junk pester.txt s src
$ echo `ls`
bin dead.letter junk pester.txt s src
$ echo .*
. .. .Xauthority .article .basser .cai .facesrc .forward.mhs .forward.plan9 .ft
.history .mail_dir .mailrc .mini .news_time .plan .planete .pnewsexpert .profile
 .sh_history .sig .smp.g8-3 .xsession-errors
$ echo `ls -a`
. .. .Xauthority .article .basser .cai .facesrc .forward.mhs .forward.plan9 .ft
.history .mail_dir .mailrc .mini .news_time .plan .planete .pnewsexpert .profile
 .sh_history .sig .smp.g8-3 .xsession-errors bin dead.letter junk pester.txt s s
rc
$

how much more chapter and verse would you like?
