I guess that's fine, but I have to wonder how many people are really that lazy. To me, it actually seems like more effort to highlight the span of characters with the mouse than it does to type them out. People are. I do recall some time ago someone asked me what the full command was and why it wasnt just printed like the @preserved-rebuild message. Also, when the work read appears twice on a short line like that, it gives a wordy/redundant feeling.

Perhaps better would be 'eselect news read' to view new items? ie. view instead of the second read. Yeah, that's much better. View works, or I was going to suggest see, which I'm still partial to over view: 'eselect news read' to see news items. (And FWIW, select/paste vs. type, depends on my mood and the pointing device I'm using. I used to select/paste quite a bit with a trackball, depending on mood, but I'm using a touchpad without physical buttons as my primary pointing device now, and it's more trouble there, so I'd type it as long as the command is short or can be tab-completed, and only select/paste for long ones or those with arbitrary and hard to remember options, possibly even switching pointing devices to do it if I'm not running X and thus don't have the 20-gesture-button programmed flexibility of a well configured xf86-input-mtrack. An text-console evdev-based mtrack driver to parallel the X driver would sure be nice!) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.

A timely idea when a Gentoo user has already been caught out by the CPU flags move. Nice one!
