Thank you! This is great, does exactly what I need.

I'm having a problem getting it into action though. In my .alias file though, I get a message about an 'unmatched parenthesis' when I source the file, and if I make it into a command .csh file in the /bin dir I get a message about a misplaced ' .

The sorting on the non-sequential files is non-alphabetical though... but of course thats a minor thing.

I'll work it a bit to see if I can get it into my .alias file or into .csh file.

Thanks very much!

View tiled photo thumbnails in command line

Is there a good way of showing around 4 pictures (fairly large thumbnails) at once on the command line, preferably tiled so that all of them are viewable.

NAME
which - locate a command; display its pathname or alias SYNOPSIS
which [filename...] DESCRIPTION
which takes a list of names and looks for the files which would be executed had these names been given as commands. Each argument is expanded if it is aliased, and searched for along the user's path. Both aliases and path are taken from the user's .cshrc file. FILES
~/.cshrc source of aliases and path values /usr/bin/which ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
csh(1), attributes(5) DIAGNOSTICS
A diagnostic is given for names which are aliased to more than a single word, or if an executable file with the argument name was not found in the path. NOTES
which is not a shell built-in command; it is the UNIX command, /usr/bin/which BUGS
Only aliases and paths from ~/.cshrc are used; importing from the current environment is not attempted. Must be executed by csh(1), since only csh knows about aliases. To compensate for ~/.cshrc files in which aliases depend upon the prompt variable being set, which sets this variable to NULL. If the ~/.cshrc produces output or prompts for input when prompt is set, which may produce some strange results. SunOS 5.10 26 Sep 1992 which(1)
