Abbreviations in the sense I understood them earlier in the thread were closer to shell aliases than what I gather you mean here, which is closer to the DEC (and IBM VM) thing of requiring the user to only type a few characters. One could write a shell that mimmicked the latter behavior, as you observed; it would simply walk $PATH, open directories, and keep look for programs that matched a prefix until it found something unambiguous. That's not quite how e.g. the VMS mechanism worked. On VMS, you could define "foreign commands" and specify how much of the prefix you considered significant; that overrode the need for non-ambiguity in the first four characters of the verb prefix. For instance, I have `bl*ank:==type/page nl:` to provide a quick way to clear the screen in my `LOGIN.COM` file. (I'm sure that Rich already knows, but the name is an homage to TOPS-20.) - Dan C.
