> ls FsShell command implementation has been consistent with the linux implementations of ls \-l. With the addition of symlinks, I would expect the ability to show file type 'd' for directory, '\-' for file, and 'l' for symlink. In addition, following the linkname entry for symlinks, I would expect the ability to show "\-> <link target>". In linux, the default is to the the properties of the link and not of the link target. In linux, '-L' option allows for the dereferencing of symlinks to show link target properties, but it is not the default.
