for the record, i hate my browser automatically activating the auto-complete selection on enter. i tend to type and hit enter quickly if i know that i just typed exactly what i want and i get very annoyed if i get something different than what i typed. in the shell i'd probably dislike it as much, if not more. greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix services: debugging, programming, training, linux sysadmin, web development -- pike programmer working in china societyserver.(org|net) foresight developer community.gotpike.org foresightlinux.org unix sysadmin (open-steam|www.caudium).org realss.com Martin Bähr http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
