!   @samp{$} in a file name is used to substitute environment variables.
! For example, if you have used the shell command @command{export
  FOO=rms/hacks} to set up an environment variable named @env{FOO}, then
  you can use @file{/u/$FOO/test.c} or @file{/u/address@hidden@}/test.c} as an
! abbreviation for @file{/u/rms/hacks/test.c}.  The environment variable
! name consists of all the alphanumeric characters after the @samp{$};
! alternatively, it may be enclosed in braces after the @samp{$}.  Note

! done before Emacs is started.

  @vindex list-directory-brief-switches

!   The text of a directory listing is obtained by running @code{ls} in an
! inferior process.  Two Emacs variables control the switches passed to

! switches to use in brief listings (@code{"-CF"} by default), and

!   Emacs adds information about the amount of free space on the disk
