Yeah. I know that particular one because I have l aliased to ls -CF (aka --columns --classify), mainly because it came that way as a commented-out entry in my first Debian. Have since become quite accustomed to it; to me, 'l' means 'look' (I do love my MUDs), so I'm considering aliasing 'gl' to 'pwd' so that I can 'glance' too :) Hmm. What other MUD commands have obvious Unix equivalents? say --> echo emote --> python -c attack --> sudo rm -f ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
