I am saying this because as a user, I type guile and hit tab to know 'what's available' ... [I know you will argue that I should know better what guile = provides in terms of scripts, but this way at least i gives me all possibilities, wh= ich I may study [later] ...] [besides, anyone can create its own and preferred short name as a link to the distributed script] Cheers, David
