this will answer your basic question...

    ls -l | awk '$9 !~ /[.]/ {print $9}'

$9 is variable containing the file names
!~ is not matching
[.] is match any . in the string

now...note that ls is running for the directory you're in...that should
be expanded to be more versatile.  i tried wrapping this in an

   xeq sh.hpbin "-c '...'"

command...but ran into quoting problems.  maybe someone else can figure
that out.
