I enjoy having the ability to set things up the way I like them. I do dislike having all those .xxx files cluttering up $HOME though. Maybe the solution would be to collect them all and conventionally put "setup" or "environment" files (including .profile) in $HOME/setup/* . ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
