   Another Comment:  Why doesn't 'cd ..' work?  And is there an equivalent
   for 'ls -l'?  If not, does anyone have source code for these routines?

[ 
cd is slightly braindead.  it requires the path to be a subdirectory
or an absolute path.  i.e. there's no support for .. or . directories.


as far as I can tell, there are no switches to ls.  I wonder if any
other shell's work or can be modified to replace the hyper c shell..
