Jerry Peek is a living god. I've seen his shell presentation through SVLUG, and after fourteen years of Unix use (including a good six years of solid GNU/Linux and Unix), I picked up some tips. An alternative solution using history: $ ls A*.pdf $ ^ls^rm Larry's homepage includes links to several presentations with some good shell tips. http://www.jpeek.com/ Cheers. -- Karsten M.
