the db is about 420kb
sorry, it works perfectly $locate temp or $locate X11
give big lists. I think I'm getting stuck on the dot beginning
the string .xinitrc - I must not be handling that leading "."
correctly w/locate. The output of $locate .xinitrc is nothing
just a new prompt. What would be the reason?
Thanks for this help,
