My ls doesn't do anything except warn people not to put . first in their path and record who tripped my trap. It's been interesting watching who I catch and how they react. (Every once in awhile, I catch myself when I do an rsh. Most embarrassing.) -- Dick St.Peters GE Corporate R&D, Schenectady, NY stpeters@ge-crd.arpa uunet!steinmetz!stpeters
