locate "stest" |grep ^stest$ remarkably returns null, else I screwed-up my grep test. However, there were many numerous hits with embedded stest within text strings. Far less common was lstest as locate simply returned two hits from mtools: locate "lstest" /usr/bin/mtoolstest /usr/share/man/man1/mtoolstest.1.bz2 lstest seems to have more meaning from a user perspective. stest seems to be something for testing for strings within a text file vs. ls being commonly used for list directory files. -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/
