Because my 'less' has a '-F' > option that does just that. Yeah, almost. Truth be told I didn't know about less -F before this 'exercise'. However if you note my PAGER is set to vim not less. I often end up reading diff output from cvs, bk, git and more recently mercurial in vim. I was typing a lot of '| vim -R -' at the end of everything. And since I don't always know how long a patch will be it's nice to have the option to let te computer do the work for me. -Bart -- WebSig: http://www.jukie.net/~bart/sig/
