Uh, that does not make sense. One does not run `grep' piped into `find'. But one _does_ run `find' piped into `grep'. The name "grep-find" is quite counterintuitive and probably only chosen because it is in the grep package, and so the "grep-" prefix somewhat suggested itself. Not really a good choice in my book, but removing the existing binding would not be nice, either. However, I see no merit for adding the alias you suggest here. What would the logic behind it be? -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
