[IPython-dev] Re: [IPython-user] pysh is in CVS

[Daniel 'Dang' Griffith]

    Wow!  I had a minor problems because there some executables
in my path with the same names as some Windows built-ins (e.g.,
dir.exe, mkdir.exe, rmdir.exe).  After running rehashx, IPython was
running them, rather than the built-in.  I was unaware of their 
presence until this time; I deleted them, and life is good again.
    Great update!  I'll keep you posted if I see any strangenesses.
It's really cool to be able to run 'jar', to access zip files, without 
needing two windows open (an IPython and a command prompt).
        --dang
p.s.
What do you mean about builtin piping?  I ask, because "ls /s | more" 
works just fine.  And if I re-aliasing ls to ls.exe, "ls -R | less" works 
just fine as well.
