That's a function of the program that reads the commands, which in UNIX-like systems is a "shell". Read the documentation (man page, for example) for the shell you use. If that shell doesn't support the option, check the documentation of other shells that you might want to use. Examples of shells are sh, csh, tchs, bash, zsh, and ash. I know (from personal experience) that tcsh supports this. I've heard that bash also supports it. david -- David Wolfskill UNIX System Administrator dhw@whistle.com voice: (650) 577-7158 pager: (650) 371-4621 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
