1. I'm not the OP, I don't want anything.

Well,

when you do

ls *

You list both the files in the current directory and the content
of all the subdirectories.

With

ls -- */

You list only the content of the subdirectories, that's how I
understood the OP's requirement.

So did I. But I merely pointed out that I tried your suggestion, and it
didn't work here. I get subdirs *with* their files.

I'm using SUSE 10.0 in text mode.
