Hmm.... cd /u<TAB>lo<TAB>b<TAB><ENTER>ln -s /u<TAB>b<TAB>perl<ENTER> 28 keystrokes ln -s `which perl` /u<TAB>lo<TAB>b<TAB><ENTER> 28 keystrokes Of course, these assume a fairly clean /, /usr, and /usr/local. Someone may want to double-check my counting. The answer of course, is that the first is better, as you don't have to reach for the backtick. ;) BTW, I know you can also <TAB>complete the which command, but you first have to type "whic" to get past matching "while", so just typing "h" is simpler. -- Jakob 'sparky' Kaivo - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.ndn.net/ "As time goes on, my signature gets shorter and shorter..." - me
