When I type "../.bin/showlink dist" in a freshly-created slist emailer directory, such as my "/home/slist/popreporter" directory, the program doesn't return anything; I just get another prompt. If I just type "../.bin/showlink" I get the "usage" text, indicating that the program's running. dist is linked to accept; if I edit one, the other one changes. Is something broken, or just something I don't understand?

showdist is designed to show you the directories where like-file hardlinks reside. For example, in your list directory type:
../.bin/showlink rc.init
...and you'll see a list of the _directories_ where there are hard links to your rc.init file (generally every list directory you have plus .etc/ unless you have a modified rc.init file somewhere).
showlink really wasn't designed to show any hardlink anywhere on your hard drive (it _only_ looks insite the main lists directory...link a copy of rc.init outside the list tree and showlink won't see it).
