Your current directory is stenton. Place a calendar listing for the month
of December 2013 into a file called Holidays within the gen_ed directory:

Stop adding the period (.) at the end of the command.

I am mainly a windows user; so, there might be a logical reason to use the period.
But, you say you DO NOT wish to have only the results for the current directory.
The period means the current directory.

Did you just try the standard?

Code:

ls -al
