The current page does not follow any direct logical order, although some grouping can be sensed. E.g. there is no single order one would expect commands to be ordered. Person A might expect close to be next to quit .. stop, Person B might wonder why the page starts with reassign command and Person C why found is near the top when it is seldomly used. Ordering them alphabetically makes even less sense than someone's guess at a useful order by grouping similar commands together. Suggestions and/or patches with an improvement in order requested; changing the order to alphabetical isn't an improvement, so marking this wontfix. [Even most manuals try to group related actions toghether; for the most part that page attempts to.] Don Armstrong -- Quite the contrary; they *love* collateral damage. If they can make you miserable enough, maybe you'll stop using email entirely. Once enough people do that, then there'll be no legitimate reason left for anyone to run an SMTP server, and the spam problem will be solved. -- Craig Dickson in [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

How they had the ya-yas to declare Linux an infant OS in need of their IP is beyond me. Upcoming features? PAM. files larger than 2 gigs. NFS over TCP. The 80's called, they want their features back. -- Compactable Dave http://www3.sympatico.ca/dcarpeneto/sco.html http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
