Would you be a fan of nash , the Never Again so complicated SHell ? The base idea that it is a Forth interpreter that has a few shell like features tucked onto it, like executing programs. And if you type pwd, sure as hell it would look through $PATH and execute the exact program you want. (You could defined `pwd' in the interpreter yourself to do something different. If you do that, probably you want it.) > >Cheers, >Cameron Simpson <c...@cskk.id.au> Groetjes Albert -- This is the first day of the end of your life.
