Actually, if you go back far enough before XEDIT, X was a perfectly good name for a quick test exec. When XEDIT came along, there was an oops or two.

Why would you? Don't you have the system alias X for Xedit? I even have user alias for popular mistyped commands (like RECIEVE). I admit there is a subtle difference that the X EXEC would only be invoked when you use the X abbreviation, while XEDIT EXEC would be invoked also by (sloppy) code that meant to use the XEDIT command. But I am not sure that was what you wanted an X EXEC for. Rob
