zcat /usr/share/doc/bash/README.Debian.gz |sed -ne '/^6\./,/^7\./p' It is already a configurable parameter. I wonder, however, why the shell couldn't check for the existence of the command before forking. Note that I didn't say "check for the existence of every command", just the one being run. I suppose there is some reason like "the command isn't parsed in the parent" or something. Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
