There are interesting things: - first, the list is built in "steps"; it outputs part of the screen then delay then another part. Delays happen somewhere in the middle of a word (I suspected slow stat() at first, but it does not appear to be it). - after list is shown, cursor movement is noticeably slow (I was about to say "painfully" ...). May be, it is related to memory management; I have seen reports that bash also behaves slow under Cygwin as compared with Unix. -andrej Have a nice DOS! B >>
