DIR ALIAS REPRISE

The following alias will list just 
the directories in a directory and 
not other ordinary files. It will 
list a directory as a directory even 
if the directory is a symbolic link.

alias dir='ls -Lla|grep ^d'
               
Without the capital "L" in this alias 
the alias will not list directories 
that are symbolic links.
