No problem!
No problem, fbavent! The sudo commmand is a corruption of "pseudo," as in pseudonym, i.e., an alias. Sudo lets you impersonate the superuser for any command line. If you'd like the manual pages for sudo, they're on your system now--type in man sudo to view them. If you'd like one of my patented shiny PDFs of this or any other manual page, just post below--I'll e-mail it to you!

At my old job the TAB key was used in Super User mode rather than the default of the ESC key. I was wondering how to reassign the TAB key so that it acquires the functions of the ESC key.
Thanks for the help.

io::all::ftp
IO::All::FTP(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation IO::All::FTP(3pm)
NAME
IO::All::FTP - Extends IO::All to FTP URLs
SYNOPSIS
use IO::All;
"hello world
" > io('ftp://localhost/test/x'); # save to FTP
io('ftp//example.org/pub/xyz') > io('xyz'); # GET to file
# two ways of getting a file with a password:
$content < io('ftp://me:secret@example.org/xyz');
$content < io('ftp://example.org/xyz')->user('me')->password('secret');
DESCRIPTION
This module extends IO::All for dealing with FTP URLs. Note that you don't need to use it explicitly, as it is autoloaded by IO::All
whenever it sees something that looks like an FTP URL.
METHODS
This is a subclass of IO::All::LWP. The only new method is "ftp", which can be used to create a blank IO::All::FTP object; or it can also
take an FTP URL as a parameter. Note that in most cases it is simpler just to call io('ftp//example.com'), which calls the "ftp" method
automatically.
OPERATOR OVERLOADING
The same operators from IO::All may be used. < GETs an FTP URL; > PUTs to an FTP URL.
SEE ALSO
IO::All::LWP, IO::All, LWP.
