Dwain,
If you don't know about it already, then here's a tip;
Use <TAB>-completion.
Basically it works like this:

Thanks Jon, I'll have to remember the <Tab> thing. This is all so new to me, and I don't know a lot of tricks yet on how to make the system work for me instead of the other way around.
NP. We were all 'there' at some point or another... When I first found out about <TAB>-completion, I was... very impressed... It literally made me go "wow!" Now I use it so much, that I sometimes accidentally get 'access denied' with ssh, because my fingers automatically just type the first couple of characters in the password, and then hit <TAB> <ENTER>... It's a bit like typing <ESC> :wq <ENTER> to get out of any editor... The fingers just do it, and leaves me with a puzzled look on my face as I try to figure out why it didn't work... :P
I guess it's the blockhead in me that wants it to be just so. This Linux thing is a new adventure for me, and as many times as I have installed the OS over the past week, I'm getting pretty good at it.
;D
Again, thanks to all of you who have taken the time to work with me. I hope one day I will be able to return the favor to another new comer to the system.
Don't worry, you will. Cheers, Jon -- YMMV -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
