How do I get an ls -l to not show the full directory path?
Hey
I'm new to the forums here, and I'm seeking help for this script that I'm writing. When I do ls -l of a directory it shows the full pathname for files in it. For example, if the directory is /internet/post/forum/ and the file is topic, it currently shows internet/post/forum/topic. What's the correct way to get it to just say /topic when I'm ls'ing a directory to see the files within?
Thanks a lot, greatly appreciated.

DESCRIPTION
This is a composite widget designed to simplify the construction of chat applications. The widget contains display areas for chat messages,
user names and topic and an entry area. It automatically handles colourization of messages per nick and manages nick completion. A system
of hooks permit the application author to adjust display features. The main chat display area may be split for use displaying history or
for searching.
The widget is made up of a number of text widget and panedwindow widgets so that the size of each part of the display may be adjusted by
the user. All the text widgets may be accessed via widget passthrough commands if fine adjustment is required. The topic and names sections
can also be hidden if desired.
