Hi list. I'm using the locate command to find some diagnostic software and potencial mount points for basic hardware like a floppy drive or a modem. I can find what I want no problem, but I also get a lot of things I don't want. Sometimes screens after screens. The screens scroll automaticly, and I wonder if there's a way to change this. Failing that, is there a way to get at the items at the top of the list without doing a locate and listening to the whole thing over. I've done this 4 or 5 times, and it's starting to be counter productive. I think if I could just stop the scroll where I wanted and review the lines I'm interested in, I'd be a little more effective. Thanks for any advice. Erik --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.404 / Virus Database: 228 - Release Date: 15/10/2002
