One shell might be better for scripting and one for interactive use. I switched to Z Shell because of its interactive features (it's "more pretty"), and started scripting at the same time; now that I use Dired, I have very limited interactive shell usage, but I still use zsh for scripting. Of course I use bash for any system-wide scripts or things meant to run as root. Joel -- Joel J.
