Afraid the time honoured use of "." is in my command line muscle memory "rm ./-rf" Which I suspect pre-dates all those fancy getopts, and Bash, and Linux..... But obviously not so useful for scripts, but I think I'd have a hard time typing a bare "-rf" on the "rm" command, even after "--" ;) -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
