I was not just unclear, I was wrong. I meant something like this: alias mc='. /usr/share/mc/bin/mc-wrapper.sh' and mc-wrapper.sh would do everything else. Sourcing the script is essential. I didn't notice that your example didn't have that little detail. Unfortunately, I don't see enough interest to this feature (setting the last directory on exit). Asking for help resulted in just one reply so far, and it wasn't exactly helpful. This feature seems to be more a maintenance burden than a useful asset. I cannot believe that there is nobody subscribed to this list who doesn't know csh syntax. After a long consideration I decided to implement wrappers. It adds some complexity, but makes it possible to write bigger, safer scripts without stuffing them into the shell memory in the form of an alias or a function. The new code is now on CVS, the snapshot will be generated shortly. If there will be problem reports about the new scheme and nobody volunteers to help, I'll remove -P altogether. If nobody cares enough about a feature to answer simple questions in the mailing list, then that feature should not be wasting time of the present and future maintainers. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
