This is cool, thanks!! There are some other things that I thought Bash didn't do, but your recent message got me looking for Bash tutorials again, and I've found how to do some of those things. For example, 4NT lets you type part of a previously-typed command, then use up-arrow to walk thru all previous command which started with what you typed. I thought Bash didn't have such a thing (other than !, which only selects one command), but now I've discovered Control-R, which does just that!! Cool stuff!!No, I find 4NT to be more flexible than BASH... filename completion is handier, especially when multiple filenames match what you type; editing of environment variables (especially PATH) with eset is unmatched by Bash, and there are some other handy things in 4NT as well, which are lacked by Bash. I do alot of work with Bash on my job, under Linux, and I often rue the absence of 4NT there...
... of course, that's when it works...

For filename completion, the following might help .inputrc: set completion-ignore-case on set bell-style none
Now, if ls would just stop marking all files as executable when I use /F, I'd be very happy!!
... and I may need to switch to Bash if I can't get these 4NT quirks solved...
