When I typed

uname -a } verbatim18

This appeared:

usage: uname [-snrvmapiX]
uname [-S system_name]

I want to be able to bind a key on my keyboard so that when I push it text appears on the command line for me to add to.

For example I need to type out 'verbatim18 centres_show' plus about 70 different optional endings about 50 times a day.

eg: 'verbatim18 centres_show 7021 - 1 To 1 QC 1 ET 1 EA 1 Title 1 Surname'

If all I had to type was } 7021 - 1 To 1 QC 1 ET 1 EA 1 Title 1 Surname that would cut the time down greatly. Ideally I would like to bind several keys so all I had to do was type } = * & and the text I required would appear. This way it would save me (and my colleagues) lots of time!

And I didn't realise that about Putty. How could I go about finding out what the system and shell are?

And thank you for your help! It is appreciated!

SYNOPSIS

       uname [-amnrsv]

DESCRIPTION

       The  uname  command  writes the name of the operating system implementation to standard output.	When options are specified, strings repre-
       senting one or more system characteristics are written to standard output.

       The options are as follows:

       -a	 Behave as though the options -m, -n, -r , -s, and -v were specified.

       -m	 Write the type of the current hardware platform to standard output.

       -n	 Write the name of the system to standard output.

       -r	 Write the current release level of the operating system to standard output.

       -s	 Write the name of the operating system implementation to standard output.

       -v	 Write the version level of this release of the operating system to standard output.

       If the -a flag is specified, or multiple flags are specified, all output is written on a single line, separated by spaces.

       The uname utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
