List rights with XCACLS.VBS or XCACLS.EXE

I have been trying to find a way to grant list rights to a
group using XCACLS.VBS on a directory.

I haven't seen any documentation showing "List" as an
option.

Can anyone confirm if "list" is available and if it is,
provide me with a basic example for granting it to a local
group.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

The Permission is known as "Read."

(Explorer displays it some places as "list contents".)

BTW, these are permissions, not rights. A small point but it will help you
trouble shoot since "rights" are something entirely different from
permissions
on Windows systems.

If you need a generic word, call it "privilege" or "access", e.g., "What
privileges
does Fred have on the system in general and on that file in specific?"
 
Thanks for responding, but I have located something
interesting on MS's site regarding xcacls

The perm (permission) variable applies the specified
access right to files and represents the special file-
access-right mask for folders. The perm variable accepts
the following values:
R Read
C Change (write)
F Full Control
P Change Permissions (special access)
O Take Ownership (special access)
X EXecute (special access)
E REad (Special access)
W Write (Special access)
D Delete (Special access)
The spec (special access) variable applies only to folders
and accepts the same values as perm, with the addition of
the following special value:
T Not Specified. Sets an ACE for the directory itself
without specifying an ACE that is applied to new files
created in that directory. At least one access right has
to follow. Entries between a semicolon (;) and T are
ignored. Notes
The access options for files (for folders, special file
and folder access) are identical. For detailed
explanations of these options, see the Windows 2000
operating system documentation.
All other options, which can also be set in Windows
Explorer, are subsets of all possible combinations of the
basic access rights. Because of this, there are no special
options for folder access rights, such as LIST or READ.

So you are stating "Read" permissions to a folder is the
same things as applying "List" in GUI?
