Perhaps unsurprisingly, I agree 100% with this philosophy. I do maintain a very small number of aliases for long commands that I would otherwise type a lot, but I prefer generally to type things out, so that I'm clear on just exactly what it is that I'm doing (inasmuch as I ever am).... =8^) - -- Derek Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - --------------------------------------------- I prefer mail encrypted with PGP/GPG!
