Don't know who originated it. ========================== Someone really ought to post a once a month article with an expiration date a month away answering all of these questions that keep showing up every other month... Anyone who can dedicate a little time and effort can do this. Maybe it wouldn't give every *possible* variation (i.e. shell prompts, undoing rm) but it could keep those same questions from popping up every so often, spuring on those dozens of follow-on articles that seem to clog the wizard/question newsgroups. With the same Subject line in the regular postings, the regular readers could Kill that subject automatically, making everyone's life easier. -- Bruce G.

The original respondent was replying to my reply to someone else's reply which set to use $cwd (nice sentence, that). SunOS 4.0 supports it in csh, but tcsh (3.9 beta 1, Ohio-State) is my shell and it doesn't support it. Dave -- tale@rpitsmts.bitnet, tale%mts@itsgw.rpi.edu, tale@pawl.rpi.edu
