Thanx, and of I forgot that in any case with the bang header line I can really specify any shell, I like. ie I can run my bash scripts. What really affected me was invoking zsh and then not having my environment aliases etc. I've come across zsh before, it seems to more logical & less arcane than other shells. A previous poster, indicated that this group is probably not the best place for such discussions, which is of course correct, but that said there must be a lot of Unix Newbies here. (I'm a Unix oldbie, but that means I know old Unix, rather than all this new stuff) zzapper -- vim -c ":%s/^/WhfgTNabgureRIvzSUnpxre/|:%s/[R-T]/ /Ig|:normal ggVGg?" http://www.vim.org/tips/tip.php?tip_id=305 Best of Vim Tips -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
