   I wasn't going to comment on your message, no need; but here I am...   
      
   I switched from DOS to *NIX operating systems 30 years ago.. First running   
   Xenix and sucessfully writing programs with it in the business world. We then   
   used Mark Williams Coherent, then later one of the earliest version of Linux.   
   My husband and I continue writing software in C and other languages for *nix   
   to this day. Nothing in your message is new to me, but thank you for posting   
   in the echo.   
      
   While it is true LL is not available on some *NIX systems, I couldn't find one   
   that doen't include it in the bash shell although there may be some shells   
   that do not include it.  Perhaps your superior searching skills can find the   
   answer to that one.   
      
   Yes it is true ll is not a command, it is an alias for ls -l but essentially   
   it works just as any shell command. The fact that something is not an   
   executible does not mean it is not a command.
