Default dir command vis-a-vis hidden files

Does DIR normally display hidden files?

On my system it does, regardless of the setting in folder options. I have to use the /a-h option to stop that behavior.

This seems different from what I remember on my old XP system, and seems to contradict the explanation of the DIR command, which says to use the /ah option to display hidden files.

I tried to set the DIRCMD environment variable to negate this behavior and that works -- except that the application that I am trying to port to Vista uses the /a-d option, which cancels my DIRCMD setting.
