[cs631apue] ls output clarification

Hi,

The man page for the midterm assignment specifies that ls prints one entry
per line by default, however when running the actual ls command with
multiple files it separates each set of entries by a new line character.
Example:

$ ls a b c
a:
file1
file2

b:
file3
file4

c:
file5  file7
file6

Should we also support these new line separators?

Thanks,
Keyur
