One more question.  Is it guaranteed anywhere that the files that 'ls
pattern' shows are always *exactly* the ones that would be operated on by
rm, cp, mv, etc. when confronted with the same pattern?  For example, does

ls ../*/*blah  *always* show me *exactly* what
rm ../*/*blah  will remove?

Hmm... not sure on directories.  Should it be "ls -d"?
