Need help with Linux Equivalent of a DOS command

The DOS command is "Dir *." which would just list directories.

I'm logged on as root and in the /etc directory
ls -d looks like it ought to show me all the directories in /etc
directory but just shows me the "." directory

I'm new to Linux so just trying to find my way around the file system.
I've looked at "man ls" but aside from "-d" I don't see any other
obvious options.

Feel free to email or post.

Thanks in advance

Lester
