If you are having trouble seeing all the files listed, it is probably
because of limitations in the shell history.  In this case it would be
better to pipe te outout of the ls command into a file by doing;
 'ls *.jpg > jpg.list"

and then read your file with your favourit tect file viewer.
'less jpg.list'.

Cheers..
