urgh. sorry for the misdirected reply. i suppose the other one went here
too. hm, some useful info to make up for it...

encryption on the pilot. go see here:

shell fun:

most shells provide this shortcut. let's say you make a dir, and then want
to change into it:

mkdir foo.bar.moo
cd foo.bar.moo

can be done quicker as:

mkdir foo.bar.moo
cd !$

along those lines when removing files you might want to list them first,
and the rm them.

ls foo bar.* moo
rm foo bar.* moo

can be done as:

ls foo bar.* moo
rm !*

(but don't forget the !, then it's really bad!)
