To muddy the waters still further, I recently unarchived a .lzh file onto
my amiga. The 'dir' command worked ok, but 'list' did not show the files
(I was using the ARP versions of these commands).  Delete worked, luckily.
Further, only one of the unarchiving programs caused this problem, the other
worked OK (but I can't remember whether it was LZ or LHARC that didn't
work properly).  This was on an FFS hard disk partition.
