Aldi,

I don't know about "dir," which is a Windows / DOS-ism, but any Unix / 
POSIX / Gnu "ls" command, including Cygwin's, will flag file system 
entities in its output when given the -F option. Directory names get a 
trailing slash, executables a star (asterisk), symbolic links an at-sign (@).

I am unaware of any environment variable that activates this option, 
however. I use this option often enough that I have aliases that supply it 
for me. For example:

alias lf='ls -F'
alias ll='ls -lF'


This is nothing Cygwin-specific, of course.
