No RET.
huh? I'm not sure I can follow. xargs outputs the command and the "?..." on STDERR, and read the user's choice from /dev/tty - as specified in: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/xargs.html Without RET, this would all be mangled and the commands would be unreadable on a terminal. Have a nice day, Berny
