I really like the shortcut characters like !,=,>,< used to change to specific mailboxes and I wonder if I can construct similar shortcuts myself. I use mutt to read my procmail log in ~/.procmail/log and my mailing list archives in ~/slist/[listname]/archive/latest, and it is difficult to type out these long filenames. At the moment I have defined one-letter symbolic links like P, or T in my home directory, but these only work from there, unlike !,=,>,<, which I can use anywhere in my file system. -- Greg Matheson Learn a second language Chinmin College, Taiwan and be born again almost [EMAIL PROTECTED]
