I think Andras answered your question, but here's a workaround. Install gpm, the terminal mouse program. Then if you do an ls, and double click on the file name, it will put the name in a buffer. Then type your command, and where you would put the file name paste the buffer with the center button. I use this as much as completion, but even more I use ctrl-r to search and reuse history the second time I use the command. eg ls VM* double click on name sh -f center paste name _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
