Listmates,

	According to man ls, option [-A, --almost-all] "do not list implied . 
and .." However, when I use ls -A or ls --almost-all, the "." and ".." 
files are still there?

	For example, in a script that adds artist_album information to mp3 
tracks, I have had to use sed to get rid of the dots like:

# list=$(ls -A | sed '/^\./d'); for i in $list; do  echo "trac $i = 
$artist_$album-$i"; done

	ls -A on its own should not include the dots in the list and sed 
shouldn't be required at all. So is this really a problem with "ls"? 
And, if it is an ls bug, where do I need to file it?

	Ok, and after a week ski trip with my 8, 5 and 2 year old, I am 
probably a bit crazy. What says the braintrust on the ls issue.
