One thing which I was wondering about is whether it's a good idea to reserve the keywords 'help' and 'type' for bash. It seems like the novice user might be surprised if they got a lot of stuff about the shell when they type 'help' and that this keyword should be reserved for a more generic help command. Maybe bashhelp ? Similarly 'type' will no doubt confuse people coming from a VMS or MS-DOS environment. 'typeof' is my suggestion for a replacement for type. Can anyone else think of things that should be modified before the interface is 'frozen'? -Castor Fu foo@portia.stanford.edu
