Re: [BLUG] screen

That sounds good -- screen and vi. Since you said vi, I think it could be useful if we shared some of our favorite options and ways to use basic unix commands (maybe even create a BLUG Cheat Sheet). Maybe just on the list. I know I found out something useful on just good old "ls" this week that drove me crazy for about 3 years. I always set the alias ls="ls -d" because I hate a colored terminal and I want to see directories with the trailing /. I didn't realize though that this henders ls'ing into symbolic links. If you add ls -dH then you can list the contents of symbolic links. I ran into this problem on Solaris 10 and Mac OS X. "-H" works on Mac OS X. I'm not sure if the options are the same in unix -- they definitely aren't on my Gentoo machine.

  Alright.  I can give the a presentation at the next meeting or if that
it taken then the one after that.  screen might only take about 30
minutes to go over so I can also show the power of vim (vi) in another 30-45
minutes.
