Hi all, Steve, try piping the ls command to a file if it's a long list. I find that works just peachy keen, and I can look through and even search in emacs. BTW, them's as is usin' windows mailers, could ya please give us true Linuxers a break and quit hitting that `ctrl-r' and just replying willy-nilly! This previous msg had some forty to fifty lines of quoted text! Now I know I'm not the listowner, but I, for one, would appreciate shorter messages. Remember, guys, the blessed list is archived! If you want to see what somebody else said, go and look it up, for God's sake, don't quote a chain of six messages together! Only AOLers do this sort of idiocy guys, get with the program!
