Something more if you are using GCG version 8. List files must
start with .. (two periods). Therefore, you should either:
1) edit the file you created as told by Mathew Woodwark
or
2) start by creating the file seq.fil:
   cat > seq.fil [return]
   .. [return]
   ^D
   then append the output of ls:
   ls *.seq >> seq.fil
