Subject: a feature I wish rc had
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 1992 17:27:29 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <92Nov2.172735est.2779@hawkwind.utcs.toronto.edu> (raw)

 rc has convenient ways of adding things to a list, but it has
no particularly easy way of doing the converse, taking something
out of one. It would be especially powerful if one could take things
out of implicit lists, ie say 'all filenames of this pattern, except
filenames of that pattern' conveniently.

 Just today's gratuitious feature idea (well, not too gratuitious).
