Bash remembers your old parent directory and intercepts, giving you the tab completion. Try using 'ls' and you shouldn't see the same thing. For example, go into /tmp and create a symlink called test to, say, /usr/include. Then do 'cd test' and 'cd ..' in bash and you'll be back in /tmp. Do the same thing in something like csh and you (should be) in /usr, because it doesn't keep a directory history stack but just uses chdir(). -i [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au
