That would be command completion - not escape sequences. Not sure what your situation is, but you might consider looking at some open source editors or shells to get some ideas. Using a hash into the commands may speed things up so you don't have to traverse the entire list; as would having the list sorted in the first place. -- ,-/- __ _ _ $Bill Luebkert ICQ=14439852 (_/ / ) // // DBE Collectibles Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] / ) /--< o // // http://dbecoll.tripod.com/ (Free site for Perl) -/-' /___/_<_</_</_ Castle of Medieval Myth & Magic http://www.todbe.com/ _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
