I wasn't going to comment on your message, no need; but here I am...

I switched from DOS to *NIX operating systems 30 years ago.. First running 
Xenix and sucessfully writing programs with it in the business world. We then 
used Mark Williams Coherent, then later one of the earliest version of Linux. 
My husband and I continue writing software in C and other languages for *nix to 
this day. Nothing in your message is new to me, but thank you for posting in 
the echo.

While it is true LL is not available on some *NIX systems, I couldn't find one 
that doen't include it in the bash shell although there may be some shells that 
do not include it.  Perhaps your superior searching skills can find the answer 
to that one.

Yes it is true ll is not a command, it is an alias for ls -l but essentially it 
works just as any shell command. The fact that something is not an executible 
does not mean it is not a command.
