Also a command modifier, this prevents `commandalias' expansion: ? ?m m -> mail -> '\local mail' ?\\m m (mail): (m) Compose mail; recipients may be given as arguments (In the latter case it must be escaped via shell-quoting, may it be \\ or '\' or what, because the command de-facto is `help', we are only asking it to show us the expansion.) So, it should not matter regarding actual `alias' expansion, it only prevents `commandalias' from kickin' in. |-- Xavier --End of <[email protected]> --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
