Hi kyp44, Expounding upon Brian's response, here's how I've done exactly what you are asking to do. I'm assuming a Unix-ish system. Here are the steps I've done, verbatim (replace -Wall -Wextra with whatever you need): cd ~ mkdir bin cd bin cat > g++ <<EOF /usr/bin/g++ -Wall -Wextra "$@" EOF chmod a+x g++ PATH=~/bin:$PATH Adjust as necessary. Voila! HTH, --Eljay
