As a user, I'd expect to find it on the ``status`` builtin, which already reports similar things. BTW, status -c allows Martin's wish of adding classifiers in ``ls | less`` but not in ``rm (ls | grep foo)``. I'm not sure it's safe but it might be a better condition for default ``ls`` behaviour than checking if it's a tty. -- Beni Cherniavsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, who can only read email on weekends. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
