When I do the completion for fg (fg -j -P % +) that shuffles through the list of jobs, I only get the name of the program, i.e. vi, which is not very helpful since there are multiple vi sessions going. One way around this is to refer to the jobs using the job number. Anybody have any suggestions? I'd really like to use the completion for fg more productively. -- Thank you for your time and consideration. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jose Unpingco Mail Code ECE 0407; WK# (619) 534-5904 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
