I have cut and paste from my shell as I feel it would be easier for you to read it yourself. I don't have any aliases set. The output is all from bash, but tcsh seemed to do exactly the same thing. I apologise if this is correct functionality, but the suse box I tried this on complained bitterly at the lack of blah... etc existing. Cheers, Steve.
