I just noticed if using "dir", the displayed director or files will show the first page and pause for a second, then display the seoncd page. This way, it displayes thousands of files. For ls -F, you will need to wait very long, 20 seconds or 30 seconds, and then it suddently display everything. > >>with ls -F, if the object is a file, it displays the file name such as >>"xxxx", if it is a directory, it will display "xxxx/", if I have 20 >>files in a directory, it will easily for me to find what I want either a >>file or a directory. > > > Does "ls --color=auto" display faster? If so, you could use that to > get the same information from the color of the file names. a little faster. Thanks.
