That's a one not an ell Grammostola. It causes the output of ls to
occur line-by-line. If you're in the X Window System you'd be working
from a terminal window, if you're not you'd be at the tty command line.
You can either write a script to provide more "steps" of control or from
the CLI, separate your commands with semi-colons. What you provided
with the ampersand should work fine.
