I say that standardizing _some_ things in these files would be wise.. Such things as a standardized prompt, putting the current path in the path for regular users (not root).. I'm sure there would be a few other things. You can't standardize these files too much as different distro's will handle them differently... > While I'm being frivolous, I sure would like to see the inputrc file > and a few of the X configuration files standardized so that we can all > count on things like the way Backspace and Delete behave in all common > apps. But that's just a fanciful dream, I know.... This would be nice... BS and Del are presently something that drives me insane... this is one of those things from dos that I miss.. the ability to go from app to app and have the piece of mind that these two keys will behave... one must remember that a large amount of the "new userbase" is coming from windows. The other things are beyond my talents at the moment.. ;-) Back to lerking. Jim
