Mark,
In *nix space, all files that start with a dot are classed as 'hidden'
files. Thus, they won't be normally viewable. It may be possible to
change the view settings in your chosen application, but this probably
changes from application to application.
This is in fact merely a convention of the "ls" program, not of the *nix
systems themselves. The fact that some other apps have chosen to follow
it (including many of the file choosers out there) doesn't alter this.
