When one starts typing in a filename/directory name on a bash prompt, you can hit TAB and it auto-completes it. However, I have seen systems (in fact I have three of them that shows this behavior) where if you mistyped something, be it uppercase/lowercase mismatch, or spelling error, it'll automatically "fix" that and perform the task. Of course, this depends on whether there are no other matches possible.
Here is an example of what I'm referring to: <user@battlezone:/speedy> ls apache/ sources/ temp/ <user@battlezone:/speedy> cd apche apache <user@battlezone:/speedy/apache> cd .. <user@battlezone:/speedy> cd sourc3s sources <user@battlezone:/speedy/sources> cd .. <user@battlezone:/speedy> cd tmp temp <user@battlezone:/speedy/temp> cd .. <user@battlezone:/speedy> I _think_ this is something set in bash since those machines are also using bash. The question is, _what_? Does anyone know? -- H | "Life is the art of drawing without an eraser." - John Gardner +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.
