Run Command
And somehow, this got tuned into a suffix for almost everything.
1010 > ls -1 .*rc
.Xmodmaprc
.acrorc
.backup.bashrc
.bashrc
.bk2siterc
.colorgccrc
.colorsrc
.displayrc
.enveloperc
.exrc
.fetchmailrc
.fvwm2rc
.gopherrc
.imwheelrc
.inputrc
.kderc
.lyxrc
.missilecommandrc
.mykermrc
.netrc
.newsrc
.oldnewsrc
.pinerc
.procmailrc
.screenrc
.sversionrc
.vimrc
