adsl-66-51-193-110:~ rameeti$ ls -A
.CFUserTextEncoding     .bashrc.save            Music
.DS_Store               Desktop                 Pictures
.Trash                  Documents               Public
.bash_history           Library                 Sites
.bashrc                 Movies

As shown above, I only have .bash* files and the .bash files are the ones being created and modified.

Any other ideas?
