(tab does not work for this.) This feature depends on the shell you are using. Switch to bash or tcsh (both in the packages) and it will work too. : : In Linux you can pipe a command to |less this seems not work in FreeBSD. Is there another : way to limit the output (last |less)? less isn't installed by default. Use 'more' or install less from the packages. To install a package use the /stand/sysinstall program, or do it manually by mounting the cdrom, cd to the packages/All directory, look for the packages you find usefull (e.g. bash, less) and do pkg_add -v <filename> Regards, Stephan -- FORTH EDV Beratung + Schulung stephan@forthdv.pfm-mainz.de Martin-Luther-Str. 55 voice: +49 6131 581072 55131 Mainz, Germany fax: +49 6131 581073
