For example, I alias cd to a function which changes directories and then echoes the pwd. All of a sudden, nothing is echoed. Other commands behave normally, but as soon as I type an incorrect command (with the error message "command not found") all the previous stored `pwd`s show up all at once. The same thing happens with alias. alias produces no output, but after an error, all my aliases are flushed to stdout. Is this some problem with buffered i/o in bash? This has only happened to me once so far, but it has happened to a friend of mine a couple of times already. Has anyone got any experience with this at all? Thanks. -- "C Code." "C Code run." "Run, Code, run!" Byron Rakitzis. (tbrakitz@phoenix.princeton.edu ---- tbrakitz@pucc.bitnet) I need the machine type, the OS, and the version of Bash. Brian
