pushd/popd and dirs came from csh. They are invaluable when you only had a terminal. They are so invaluable that ksh code to implement them is on pp 244-247 of "The Kornshell Command and Programming Language" by Bolsky and Korn, ISBN 0-13-516972-0. So it is not really a matter of "ksh can't do pushd/popd/dirs" it is a matter of "the default environment for ksh doesn't include pushd/popd/dirs" Substitute pushd/popd for arrow keys. Repeat. If we are going to fix that, then I'll suggest we change the default interactive editor mode from "vi" to "emacs," because I'm an emacs fan :-) (chapter 8, ibid) -- richard _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
