I usually don't, of course. But I was thinking of something in a script like cd "$PREFIX/bin" where "$PREFIX" could possibly be "/". In that case, "cd //bin" gets issued. Normally, this doesn't seem cause any problem... but the fact that bash returns the initial double slash makes me nervous.. as though it thinks "//bin" and "/bin" are different directories. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
