Rick, If you use the bash shell, it has both filename completion (type a few letters of the filename and hit the tab to complete the rest) as well as a .bash_history file where you can recall/scroll thru the last 50 or so commands you have completed. bash name completion also works on commands: typing umo[tab] puts umount on the command line. Find our where bash is (probably in /usr/local/bin/bash) and use chsh to change your shell. Use a .bash_profile and .bashrc in your home directory to set aliases and customize your prompt. I find it hand to have the last bit of the directory name in the prompt line. Holler if you need a screed for these. -- Richard Martin dmartin@origen.com OriGen Biomedical Tel: +1 512 474 7278 2525 Hartford Rd.
