Hi,

In Linux you can list directories only by typing: ls -d */

on solaris ls -F gives shows you all the directories ending with a
/ , then you can do a grep on it. like this
ls -F | grep '/'

On most systems this should do if you want to list directories under your current directory only:

ls -l | grep ^d
