Hi. I seem to have run into an interesting problem. I'm running SKsh 1.5 I have an AE HD drive. CD to it and there is another disk in DF0: with an identical name, and then I do an ls with wildcards, nothing happens: DF0: Name Blah DF2: Name Blah (AE drive) cd DF2: ls *.doc "" (nothing) Anybody got any suggestions? If I do the following, everything works hunky dory: ls df2:*.doc alpha.doc knights2.doc lisp.doc Thanks, Ralph gilgalad@dip.eecs.umich.edu gilgalad@zip.eecs.umich.edu gilgalad@caen.engin.umich.edu Ralph_Seguin@ub.cc.umich.edu gilgalad@sparky.eecs.umich.edu USER6TUN@UMICHUB.BITNET Ralph Seguin | Drinking a pan-galactic gargle blaster is 536 South Forest | like being struck over the head by a large Apartment 915 | brick of gold with a lemon wrapped around it.

I do, I do!! The "identical name" part is the problem, due to a bug in SKsh. Right now, SKsh internally mapps the "*" to "disk_name:*". However, if there are two disks with the same name, it gets a little confused and often uses the wrong one. I'll fix it someday :-) - steve
