How can I not be misinterpreted? I know it's inefficient and risky, so I want the users who try it out of old habits to be directed to the fish-way of doing it, not to get a puzzling error message with no idea what happened! I'm saying that even if "This is about as complicated as fully implementing "!!".", it's better for us to give a message than to "fully implement !!", (if it's worth doing either -- which sounds nearly impossible to do without unduly messing up cases where it was intended as a normal string. In other words, I think it's harder to implement the message ideally than to implement bash-style !!) ~Isaac ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
