See the bash man page for the long story on the different ways you can make it work. It might help to download the following two old example files and try them out (use both or neither!) after backing up your own versions and renaming mine with the customary dot. Then see if you can use the man page to explain what you have observed. They're near the bottom of this ancient and unmaintained web page*: http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/slow/ (Disclaimer: No guarantee they won't turn your computer into a Macintosh Classic, kill your first-born, destroy your enjoyment of pizza, etc) If you have any followup questions about how it works, try freebsd-questions. If you want to discuss the usefulness (or otherwise) of such files for newbies, you're very welcome to do that here :-) -- Regards, -*Sue*- * BTW, don't bother looking for that fvwm2rc, I never put it up because I'm still not quite happy with it yet.
