How is this done? Or is it? Also how can i put a 'control-whatever' sequence into an alias? I'm using zsh 3.0.1. -- // rusty@panix.com // City cops & state cops & national guard & bureau cops & tv cops & movie cops & uniform & plainclothes cops & riot cops & cops on top of cops on top of cops on top of cops: it's a world full of cops. --Paleface
