That and in-line mult-line command editing are two things I've always liked about zsh that were missing in bash. Now bash has 'shopt -s lithist' that comes real close to the way zsh works with multi-line commands. So anyone know when process substitution was introduced into bash? Just curious. -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior System Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.
