I also never rely on the installer to set up my shell environment, so I make a point of including these lines in my .bashrc file: alias l='ls -laF' alias ll='ls -laF|less' alias mv='mv -i' alias rm='rm -i' alias cp='cp -i' The first two lines are just for my typing convenience and I use them constantly, but the others are life-savers and I'd recommend them for anyone. Just type 'alias' at a command prompt to see what you already have. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
