okay, that's interesting -- now lemme see if i can figure how that'd be useful as well: if you want to execute commands a, b, c, d and e that you've already entered into the history list, it'll save you having to uparrow-uparrow-uparrow-uparrow-uparrow-... to retrieve the next command in sequence. talk about lazy! (but ain't it wonderful?) -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #5 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : What's a "MANPAGE"? It's the documentation you get when you enter "man <something>" such as "man sources.list" or "man interfaces" or "man bash". Also see http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ ...
