I'm unhappy with "extensions" to the pattern matching convention, particularly since I think it should be done in the shell (well, I can dream). How about making a second-order jump: ^. in pascal becomes -> in C, so: 1> list lformat="%s" -> cpio -ocv > rdf:df0 So "->" is "redirect to program". Or how about making a new command that uses the "+" syntax like in run? 1> pipe list lformat="%s" + cpio -ocv >rdf:df0 -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' <peter@sugar.hackercorp.com>.
