From the keyboard of root@tndsyd.oz (the main man): :Try this out: : $ echo > foo ' : > garbage : > ... : > ... : > ... : > ... : > ' : $ : :Then cat foo. This is a wierd bug but could be used instead of: : cat << ! > foo : garbage : ... : ... : ... : ... : ! That's not a bug -- it's a feature. That the csh doesn't do the right thing here is its problem; real shells are defined to behave in just this way. If it ever stops working, complain. --tom -- "Hey, did you hear Stallman has replaced /vmunix with /vmunix.el? Now he can finally have the whole O/S built-in to his editor like he always wanted!" --me (Tom Christiansen <tchrist@convex.com>)
