Basic 22 includes help

I can list the files in the current directory but not the ones in the "hidden" directory.
Sick of typing dots and slashes someone plz help all the links in past posts to tutorials are dead.

It's as easy as adding the directory name after the command for listing the files.

thx i thought i tried that but there was a . in front of the name I think i need new glasses :|

EDIT although, shouldnt i have to move up a directory to view these files?
