Sub-shells from more do not work properly. Specifically, if more is reading its input from a pipe, if you use !command to start a new command, more returns instantly, and has the command running in the background taking input from more's standard input, not from the terminal. Repeat-by: ls -sFCR / | more !ksh and watch all those nice error messages instead of your interactive shell. Note: This works fine if more is reading a file. : --- : Michael Gersten uunet.uu.net!denwa!stb!michael : sdcsvax!crash!gryphon!denwa!stb!michael : Coff Coff <=== Stop smoking.
