If you use $doc, it won't get hashed as a named directory. So, in the former case, if you happen to cd to /usr/share/doc, %~ in your prompt escape will expand to "~doc" instead of "/usr/share/doc". That is, unless you've hashed it already. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
