Installation problems

[Hoyt Bailey]

RE ls: When it dosent work: No message -nothing at all. Except a line feed.
ls is involked as follows: ls <enter>( I expected the system to tell me
where I was [anyway a clue]).  Also dir <enter> (for the same reason).
Typing -a ls /bin/ls : results in Error msg command -a not found.
ls -a <enter>:[ . .. .bash.profile .bashrc .inputrc cygcheck.out].
Any other requests for info will be complied with to the best of my ability.
Regards;
Hoyt
