I don't see what's dangerous or confusing about it, it's a quick way to throw away any local configuration and get back to a "normal" working directory. What's perhaps confusing or dangerous is people screwing around with local configuration when they don't know what they're doing. -Larry Jones Mom would be a lot more fun if she was a little more gullible. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
