title: cleartool ls: Error: Pathname is not within a VOB: "."
body: <p>I am trying to use cleartool to browse some CC repositories.  I can get a list of VOBs from lsvob but when I pick a VOB entry, cd into it, and try to do ls . to see what's inside, I get the following error message:</p>
  
  <p>cleartool> ls .
  cleartool: Error: Pathname is not within a VOB: "."</p>
  
  <p>The following link says I have to be within a view to run ls but how do I know where to go if I can't get a directory listing -- or a view listing to go to. </p>

  <p>It seems kind of like you have to already know where you wanna go to and can't get a list of choices.</p>
  
  <p>Question:  How do I go past this point?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
