If you add a new executable somewhere csh doesn't know it until you tell it to "rehash" its database/cache. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
