Well,
ls -l | grep ^d | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f9
seems to do the trick for me, but this is a very cheap hack, and is
dependent on what fields ls decides to print. I am definitely not
convinced this is the best method, but unfortunately this is the
simplest one I know that works.

how does one perform the equivalent MS-DOS's "dir /a:d" (directory

I use:
ls -al | grep ^d
but there's probably an easier way. :-)
From my .bashrc :
alias lsd='ls -F | grep / | tr -d /'
alias lsx='ls -F | grep "*" | tr -d "*"'
alias lsl='ls -F | grep @ | tr -d @'
Yes, ls is lacking several features. The one I need the most is the
ability to choose exactly what information to display and in what
order. For example ls --date --owner, instead of ls -l piped into cut,
etc.
(Going off topic to the recent thread in comp.lang.c about
verification tools. I keep reading the subject line as "is lacking a
feature")
