A text file containing 500 names would print on just the left-hand side of who-knows how many pages. We need this in a word processor doc, which we can make into columns, then print on only 2 or 3 sheets. It's just for reference, so we know if we already have this file in our directory.
So you want something similar to the terminal ls output, ie: filenames in columns? You can do something like "ls | pr -6tT" which will generate a 6 column output w/ the filenames. You can further tweak pr with other options.
