Request

I have a request.

When you post a suggestion about a special feature of the shell (which is what this posting is about), could you please make sure you mention what shell this applies to? Not everyone uses the same shell, so people might start getting confused, especially those who are new to the whole UNIX thing. :-)

I believe this particular suggestion is a feature of tcsh.

I would recommend that people check out zsh and ksh, two of the more powerful shells out there. zsh is my personal favorite.

Assumed defaults...

Since tcsh is the default OS X shell, all tips should be assumed tcsh unless otherwise specified. I'll add this to the FAQ posting.
