ls * should do the job for ya.

As you can see in this example:
[janjr@jan-jr-ent gaming]$ ls *
CRS831.pdf  KODT02.exe  KODT04.exe  KODT06.exe  KODT08.exe
KODT01.exe  KODT03.exe  KODT05.exe  KODT07.exe  Read Me.txt

Rifts:
Benjamin.doc                             Rifts Character Sheets.sxc 
William Forrest.doc
Dana - Sorcery Genius - Rifts Earth.sxc  Rifts Character Sheet.sxw 
wolfs-son by alpha.doc
James Americus Nation.doc                sorcery-genius.doc
Kuma - Earth Warlock - Rifts Earth.sxc   sorcery-genius.sxw
[janjr@jan-jr-ent gaming]$


ls * listed the contents of the dir I was in, then listed the contents 
of the subdir "Rifts", although:

[janjr@jan-jr-ent gaming]$ ls *
CRS831.pdf  KODT02.exe  KODT04.exe  KODT06.exe  KODT08.exe
KODT01.exe  KODT03.exe  KODT05.exe  KODT07.exe  Read Me.txt

Rifts:
doc  sxc  sxw
[janjr@jan-jr-ent gaming]$

It doesn't list the contents of sub-dirs. Perhaps find or whereis would 
be better suited to your needs

Just cd to the dir and "pwd" will give you the path to the dir you're in.

I don't know much about grep, but I'm sure "man grep" will have the info 
you need.
