technical question... If I were to type 'dir', which would actually get executed??? the alias to the ls -l command or the 'dir' program?

Ask the system! Execute: type dir You can get information on using 'type' through 'man type'; this actually takes you into a general manpage on bash, but you can just do /type within to find the specific entry.
