The annoying thing about it is that although 1.Ram Disk:> list ram:* will work, 1.Ram Disk:> list * still tries to list stdin. And, there aren't unnamed pipes as far as I know (i.e. you can't say "list | more"). Maybe somebody out there will write a shell that implements &, |, *, and filename completion (all optionally to maintain compatibility). -Logan -- // # "He said that He had your number; you cut the telephone line. \X/ # You said you needed a reason; He said 'there ain't much time.'
