Urgh. Similarly unreadable: $ touch "o'really" $ ls o*y 'o'\''really' > OK, so that syntax is supported by bash and zsh, so if you're using > one of those shells, maybe you know what it means, and you can cut and > paste that and make use of it, but in csh or dash, it doesn't mean the > same thing. First of all I want to *read* the ls output. I'm not interested in funky shell characters there. Please revert this feature. Christoph -- c...@df7cb.de | http://www.df7cb.de/
