I don't know what version of 'ls' you have. I know the man page for ls
dated May 19, 2002 says the usage is:
ls [-ABCFGHLPRSTW@abcdefghiklmnopqrstuwx1] [file ...]

but if you read through the man mage, you find:
-O Include the file flags in a long (-l) output.

listed in the options.

On the other hand, the version of ls that I have on my G3 running
10.4.11 does exhibit the behavior you describe.
