Such as your apahce.conf, default data directory, PostgreSQL data, etc. If you have command line completion enabled (default in tcsh) then # pkg_delete /var/db/pkg/apach<TAB> will fill in the nitty gritty hard to type version info. And pkg_delete isn't unhappy with the leading path. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net (hm) ====================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
