`alias bc='bc -q'` / `alias bc bc -q` and preserve your inner zen? :)
Jess
I was actually about to complain about the new `dc' not exiting after
evaluating a '-e' expression, without an explicit 'q'. But then I noticed the
"DC_EXPR_EXIT" envvar, which restores the desired behavior. That lead me to
discover "DC_ENV_ARGS" and, correspondingly, "BC_ENV_ARGS"; that last one would
be helpful here.
