For someone who manages Windows systems for a living I spend quite a bit of my day at the commandline. And that's why tab completion is my friend. :-) Let's not get into the whole windows debate and "WTF is a Windows Admin doing on a Linux forum?" type of questions. :-) It's the environment I inherited, "politics," and some badly thought out projects on my predecessor's part keep Windows in the shop. I just don't tell anyone just how much linux there actually is in the shop. ;-) -- Drew "Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood." --Marie Curie
