If your shell is the bash (as I suppose), just press the TAB key twice. You´ll get a big list of executables in your path. (You can see what your path is by typing "echo $PATH" (without the quotes). HTH, Colin PS: And get a book on Linux. www.oreilly.com should have a pointer to the free version of their latest Debian book. -- Colin Marquardt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
