You guys said the same thing, now what kind of argument is that?  

Somehow I thought ls had a parameter that returned the number of things in
a directory, but maybe that wasn't ls, or maybe it was a hacked ls on some
other system... boy it gets foggy in here after a few years, where did
that go...Oh look, a screwdriver, a small pamphlet, a brass lantern...now,
what was I trying to remember??
