FYI: Bash and many other programs use the GNU "readline" library for their actual command prompt, and that's where most of the completion logic comes from. The behavior used by CMD and PoSh is termed "menu completion" by readline, or "cyclic completion" by Emacs. The default behavior used by readline -- completing any common prefix -- doesn't seem to have a proper name. I tell you this mainly to give you Google fodder. :) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
