`alias bc=3D'bc -q'` / `alias bc bc -q` and preserve your inner zen? :)
Jess
I was actually about to complain about the new `dc' not exiting after evalu=
ating a '-e' expression, without an explicit 'q'. But then I noticed the "DC=
_EXPR_EXIT" envvar, which restores the desired behavior. That lead me to dis=
cover "DC_ENV_ARGS" and, correspondingly, "BC_ENV_ARGS"; that last one would=
be helpful here.
Thanks,
