Mike: Absolutely right. I could have thought of that

Sorry for the noise.

This is not a bug, this is the default output for the ls command.

In your shell environment you probably have ls aliased to "ls -F" (type "alias" at the bash prompt to see what aliases you have defined).

There is no way for Octave to know what your bash aliases might be, so you'll have to run "ls -F" or "ls -lF" if you want to see the slash or asterisk indicator of a directory or executable file.

The following shows that directories in an ls or other
command output have their trailing / stripped of. This is pretty
minor but can be confusing. And, the same stripping may happen
in other cases.
