You can use either a plan9.ini file or a command line argument. It's no different from what you'd do from a real terminal. (Read the man page!) Even if, for any reason, you prefer the old version you may be able to integrate the original patch by BLS. There should be some message by him in this list where he explains how to get it working with local file systems, a remote one shouldn't be very different. -- - yiyus || JGL . --f46d0418252451cd6304d7a73468 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
