Try ``ls -F'' for that.
Type ``man ls'' for all the other nifty characters that ls will add to
your display.
And if you're running X windows, install the color_xterm port and the
colorls port, and you can get different colors for different meanings.

Or even an old hand (first touched Unix in 1978). I still have
alias ls '/bin/ls -F'
in my .cshrc file.

Definitely. Perhaps in some of the forthcoming FreeBSD books things
like that might be covered.
