I found a bug in alias. If you alias a command which matches the first characters of another alias, the first alias will be deleted. For example, if you do: alias exit endcli alias ex execute [] the first alias 'exit' will go away. However, if you do alias ex execute [] alias exit endcli it will work fine. It's only a minor annoyance, but it could confuse users (it had me baffled for about 10 minutes). -- -- Dan Howell <ivucsb!dan@anise.acc.com> <...!(pyramid|ucbvax)!ucsbcsl! -- koyaanisqatsi <fr.
