thanks a lot for the reply. i got my hand of the unix programming
environment by Kernighan and Pike. I don't think we have the
programming skills for implementing a regular expression engine, but
there was a simple solution that measured the difference between the
command the user entered and an existing command.

maybe we should include that one.

you think the idea of reloading a crashed program is not a good one?
for example, what if it's a web browser?
