There was more implied in that comment than the simple fact that Linux shells have tab completion. The deeper implication was that with one interface (the command line), you can configure just about anything. With Windows, you have to click "Next" through a bazillion "wizards", each with their own look-and-feel, to get up and running. In Linux, there is a unified configuration editor, and they don't come more user friendly: vi. --Dave P.S. All flames for closed-mindedness and shallow-thinking will be redirected to /dev/null. Try doing that in Windows, then click "Empty Recycle Bin" to make sure it got flushed. P.P.S. My favorite part of bash-completion is scp'ing to a machine where you have key-based authentication setup. That is soooo cool. :) 'emerge bash-completion' ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
