You can also run 'tcsh' which, as I recall, is in the Pyramid distribution. Use the same thing for tcsh (note that this can also be done from the command line). This makes the ESC key do file completion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Steve DeJarnett | Smart Mailers -> steve@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU | | Computer Systems Lab | Dumb Mailers -> ..!ucbvax!voder!polyslo!steve | | Cal Poly State Univ. |------------------------------------------------| | San Luis Obispo, CA 93407 | BITNET = Because Idiots Type NETwork | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There was some discussion of porting the 4.3BSD csh for OSx 5.0, but it suffers from some portability problems (read: it's VAX dependent), and it was just a lot more important to do the SVR3.2 and POSIX stuff. Anyone know of any functionality in the 4.3BSD csh that isn't in tcsh? <csg>

We did this to add Ohio-States patches that make it 'tcsh' ( Which is a much improved version then Pyramid's ). >Anyone know of any functionality in the 4.3BSD csh that isn't in tcsh? That depends what 'tcsh' you are talking about. I for one am hook on the tcsh from Ohio-State. The two big reason are: command line editing ( emacs style ) and improved command line history. Other then that it is pretty much csh. ><csg> -- John H.
