[ale] The "ls" command

Nah... 

The term sticky was coined to mean that the perms of the file (based on
location of the sticky bit) "sticks" to you as long as you use that file,
but you don't have that permission any other time...the precise reason SUID
and SGID files are a bad idea.

So what did you mean by "sticky".  The 't' flag indicates it is not deleted
from ram, just because the app terminates.

'vi' might be a good app for me to make sticky because I'm in and out of it
all the time.
