Just "click-click", then | "click". **NO** cli system can be *that* efficient. And yet, assuming that you had a script for this, you could just type $ sear whatever.cue & to run it in the background. With shell-completion (most of the shells have that), you could shorten this to, say $ sear wh and run it that way. And you didn't have to hunt for the mouse, or even remove your hands from the keyboard. :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
