The locales are defined in locale definition files, probably located in /usr/lib/locale (or something similar) on your system. That's how to determine the difference... > I have this fear of saying something like > rm [a-zA-Z]* This *SHOULD* never happen, because in no language/locale that I'm aware of is '.' ever included in either range (a-z, or A-Z). Those ranges should always include only alphabetic characters. The problem with the output of `ls' is that punctuation is ignored entirely in collate order, when your language is set to en_US, though this really makes no sense whatsoever. - -- Derek Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - --------------------------------------------- I prefer mail encrypted with PGP/GPG!
