Forgive me if this has been asked before, I did some searching but couldn't pull up anything. How does one pull up the "full" listing of files (including dot-files and system direectories) in the finder and/or file open dialog?

Ah. Finally found it.

defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleShowAllFiles YES

But what about showing all UNIX directories, and NOT dot files or hidden files?

Edit the file named .hidden at the root of the boot disk. This is the list of files that should be hidden in Finder....

Don't bother with the Finder for invisible files, just do an ls -a.
