i guess we are simply differing here. i never use uppercase characters unless i must. just count the number of uppercase chars in this paragraph :-). and i also use tab to verify that something does not expand. in other words i use expansion to do simple filemanagment tasks like checking if a file exists or which files are there, instead of running ls for that task simply because it is faster. i would need to use expansion anyways to complete the argument for ls so if the expansion itself can answer the question it saves me a step. (the downside of course is that if the check is all i wanted to do, that never enters the history) greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix offering: programming, training and administration - anywhere in the world -- pike programmer working in new zealand open-steam.org|webhaven.co.nz unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (caudium|gotpike).org is.schon.org Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
