I stand corrected. In the first job where I used ksh, they had set up aliases for everything with the spaces at the end (including ls and cd) and added "convenient" aliases for some parameters. Even though I've long since abandoned the use of aliases for parameters, I've been keeping the spaces at the end of my aliases thinking it was more flexible. That's it. I'm ditching the spaces. gsw -- 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/
