Since I only have ASH (haven't been able to find SKsh yet, where is
it?) I found two things (so far) I would like to see SKsh do. It might
already do it, but like I said, I haven't seen the latest yet.
1) In sh/ksh I can do this:
FILES=(one.txt two.txt three.txt)
for i in $FILES
And i will be each one of the files defined in the first line. I
tried it, and it didn't work with my version of ASH. This of course,
also should work with wildcards:
FILES=(dh0:man/*)
2) This is something that I use in tcsh that I would like to see in
SKsh since it already does filename completetion. I can best describe
it by example. My directory has:
amiga.txt.1 amy.list fred.txt
I am at the prompt and I type:
PROMPT> am<TAB>
The shell should beep indicating I have multiple choices. In addition
if I hit <CTRL-D> it should list my possible choices as:
amiga.txt.1 amy.list
Forgive my rambling, but this is my wishlist.
