How the he-double hockeysticks am I supposed to know what version of tcsh I'm using?, it's not like there's a 'ver' command or anything. And we wouldn't want the 14 or so different shells to have anything resembling a common command structure or anything...that would be so....unUNIX! And while the literati might wish to while away countless hours debating the relative merits of csh's method for doing foo, against bash's method for doing bar...I ain't got time for that. I just need to get the occasional task done on the unix/unix-like systems we have here, and one of the time saving things I can remember is autocompletion using double escape. Course, the systems here seem to want you to use csh whenrver they want, which doesn't support double escape (or up-arrow for history, for that matter). But armed with 'exec tcsh' I can make even the most recalcitrant unix/unix-like system (here, anyway) do my bidding (which, as I have come to understand, is no small feat!).

My next great experiment is to understand which of the set {^Z ^X ^C ^D} actually terminates which program. Especially which one aborts 'man'. I'll keep you posted....
