<rant> Hairs are being split here. No assumption of a user's comprehension and/or level of expertise can be one hundred percent correct. The user who cannot fathom copying a file from one directory to another will also have problems displaying the directory itself. A person sitting in front of a windoz screen would have the same problem if he lacked the most basic knowledge of copying or moving a file from one location to another. Should I post instructions for climbing the steps to my porch because someone, sometime may be so agile that he/she cannot navigate all four steps and may fall and be injured. Or must I also be concerned that that person may be so myopic that my instructions are not in a large enough type or the wrong language. Perhaps I should just remove the steps and tell everyone to stay the XXXX away. </rant> One-Program-Does-Everything is a Billy-ism, *not* a Nix-ism. If fact, it is the opposite. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
