Thanks for summarizing it. I overlooked the ~ in Doug's message.

I use it now the following way to allow calling without a parameter also:

function lsnew () {
    if [[ $1 = "" ]]; then
        lsnew_glob="*"
    else
        lsnew_glob=$1
    fi
    ls -tr -dl $~lsnew_glob(om[1,30])
}
alias lsnew='noglob lsnew'


Stefan.
