i need help with a command for displaying the permissions details for all the files names in a directory that begin with just "_".
I have tried various commands using ls and find and no joy. I would appreciate some help with this. I am new to Linux so simple commands are good!

Sorry for the mis-edit, then! You had an underscore in the title, but a dash in the body. Feel free to edit the question to take it in the correct direction. Thank you!

Try:
ls -l -- -*
The -- indicates that what follows are not command line options.
Based on your update, for underscores you should just be able to do:
ls -l _*
Though the -- option won't hurt (it just won't do anything in that case)

"-" is interpreted as a parameter, but you don't need to suffer, just append the path before the file name or just use ./.
touch ./-badfilename1 ./-badfilename2
ls -l ./-*
ls -l /full/path/for/the/file/-*
rm ./-badfilename?
And every command will just work (ls, rm, cat, touch etc!).
