What's the closest thing to the Unix 'find' utility in EShell? I'm looking for something that will find a bunch of files, and then run a command on them, like 'find . -name '*~' -exec rm -f {} \;'. 2. Is there an equivalent to xargs? 3. How to I get help on eshell commands? 'cp --help', 'cp -h', etc. didn't seem to work. 4. Eshell is great, and I found the home page. How do I get more information on it? Is there a mailing list? Thanks Steve Molitor smolitor@erac.com
