                 Summary: After, LIST = ls (...)  each row of LIST is an

Details:

Running
  help ls
states that: _If the optional output LIST is requested then 'ls' returns a
character array with one row for each file/directory name._

However, ls (without -l) returns multiple filenames per row:


octave:1> a = ls;
octave:2> a(1,:)
ans = PKG_ADD                     laplace_inv.m   


I've attached a simple patch.  If someone using unix supply their own
__ls_command_ that didn't understand -1, it would break.  A more thorough
solution is to have two __ls_command__ variables: one to produce screen-ready
output (columnated or otherwise) and the other to produce the character
array.

Any suggestions?
