[Mingw-msys] Missing 'dir' command

[Chris H. <pop...@so...>]

Why is 'dir' not a command in MSYS as it is in a BASH on my SuSE Linux
machine?
Pretty often I'd like to know what's in the current directory without
switching to a Command Prompt or Windows Explorer. It would be nice to do
that from inside an MSYS box.
