Right, well, I have a 24" screen with (at this moment in time) 3 terminals active, all of which have several directories pushed. I'm not religious about shells. I am *passionate* that when we manage to get a Linux/OS-X user to try Indiana, they don't get rude shocks in the first three minutes because some basic piece of infrastructure that's wired into their muscle memory doesn't work. If I get on Solaris and !! or !prefix-of-some-previous-command or pushd/popd doesn't work, *that's a bug*. I don't want to micromanage how we fix it. -Tim _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
