[ILUG] Why does each filename from ls have a newline?

[Paul Askins]

You might have ls aliased to ls -l, try alias | grep ls and see do you get
ls      ls -l
or something similar.  unalias ls will remove this temporaraly.

 Also there is a -1 option to ls so that it gives one filename per line
 but specifying the -1 option or leaving it out won't make any
 difference to how the above pipeline will work. So, do any of you use
 the -1 option and what do you use it for.
