Could somebody explain why “ls -p” is not working on my own machine?

Either in your current working directory there are no files or directories or your cygwin isn’t well configured to run shell commands.
What about using changing directory or using ls -Al? That may show hidden files in long format.

Please correct me if i am wrong, from your screen i can see that “ls -p” worked. “ls” listed the directories (augutus prize_winners tv veruca violet) while “-p” appended a slash to the end of “prize_winners” allowing us to tell directories from regular files apart. This we can see in “prize_winners/”
