I hit C-u s R to get a ls -aRl listing. This was taking real long with nothing yet on the screen, and it was time to hang up the phone before another "coin was about to drop". After hangup, not only did I not see any results of the lengthy partial download of the listing, even the /tmp file where it was went bye bye. This combined with the "no results until we download everything" while online, is disappointing and should perhaps be replaced by some listing with a "(partial results)" marker at bottom or something. I don't suppose there in the GNU Labs you still have facilities to test this, with all your super fast connections and stuff. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
