That's correct, but from what follows I suppose you misunderstand what the documentation for those commands means by "a directory". A Dired buffer can list the contents of multiple directories (not just list, one per line, each of the subdirectories of a single directory). $ and M-$ manipulate which of these listings is displayed, rather than affecting the display of any one file (which might happen to be a directory file). > It hide all for me (files and dirs) and leave only the first line of > dired buffer (the directory header).(the two commands $ and M-$ do the > same). When you only have one directory listed (which is the normal starting case), they are the same. Davis -- This product is sold by volume, not by mass.
