If you want them alphabetically sorted into another file, you can do something like sort .history | uniq > newfile to remove duplicate lines. You can edit the history file directly, too, shells write to that file when they exit so you won't see any of your current shells history in it. That also makes it hard to remove duplicate commands from the shell. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
