Hi,

What problem are you getting? I tried the your example on my system with and without the -ok arg ommitted:

[root AT webdev]:{512}:% find . -type d -maxdepth 1     
.
./elfyn-tests
./src

[root AT webdev]:{510}:% find . -type d -maxdepth 1 -ok ls -al {} \;
< ls ... . > ? yes

This looks fine to me, as I would expect. Do you not get the output you expect?
