David, please forgive, as I shifted your first quote around to maintain context. > I think it was AT & T who "architected" unix. Obviously you have > never tried to read a hidden unix file? Quite a number of resource > files are named as hidden files and if you wish to read them then > there isn't much choice. I confess I wasn't thinking that someone may want to see hidden files. I was off-base on this one, but I'd have the same response if Lothar came back to tell us this is data for use in his business application. > (I checked at dictionary.com, "No entry found for architected") Yes, but according to this link there are about 209,000 references to This non-word prior to mine in Google alone. http://www.google.com/search?num=50&hl=en&lr=lang_en&newwindow=1&q=archi tect ed Also, please see http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/architect where the word "architect" is acknowledged as a verb in relation to computing. (That may be one of the only official places on the net, but I read the OED has a reference going back to the 1800s, if you're willing to pay to see it.) I'm not overly fond of the trend toward "verbing" in the English language either, but you have to admit that especially in IT we verbigate and adjectivize an awful lot. (That was abusive in itself.) Having familiarity with several languages, I think English has become the "lingua-franca" of our day primarily because it's so flexible. > I don't recall Lothar mentioning these being keys.

Quote from Lothar: >> I'm trying to read a text file with a key of ".lesskey.sbc" You had a good point to start but let's not be too Picky...
