% Hallo,

Hi!


% 
% If I try to list files with
% 
% ls *
% 
% then I receive the following error message:
% 
% bash: /usr/bin/ls: Invalid argument

One of the files in the directory probably starts with '-' and the next
character is one that doesn't make sense to ls.  If you had a file called
"-l" then your command would suddenly give you a long listing, or a file
called "-r" would suddenly reverse your listing :-)

What do you see when you type

  ls | head

in this directory?


HTH & HAND
