I've worked on numerous Unix systems and have never seen any documentation where "ls -l" ( list contents in long format) referred to as ll. In BSD (OS X) "ll" does not work from the command line, so I'm at a loss as to why it was used to illustrate this example. -- Jesse "You can do more with a kind word and a gun than with just a kind word" - A
