Lines: 14 Dr. Nall, Your find command should read: find / -name termcap\* -print instead of: find / -name termcap* -print The problem is that if you omit the quoting '\' before the '*', your command shell will expand the 'termcap*' into a list of matching filenames. Aparently your current directory was /usr/junk and that directory contained the file that find found. ray curci inet: curci@nu.cs.fsu.edu uucp: uunet!nu.cs.fsu.edu!curci
