When you feed BSD "ls" into a pipe, it doesn't print the filenames in
columns; that's good for this test but it looks lousy on the screen if
there are lots of filenames.  A kludge for that looks like this:

	ls -F | grep '[/@]$' | pr -4 -l1 -t
----------

  You can also force multicolumn output using the "-C" option to "ls".
Thus, "ls -CF | grep '[/@]$'" will work.
