The Symbols / and ?

With the introduction of a KornShell-based parser, the / (forward slash) command had to be renamed because it cannot be distinguished from a UNIX pathname. Use search instead.

This example

---

(dbx) /abc

---

now means to execute the file abc from the root directory.

Similarly, ? (question mark) had to be renamed because it is now a shell metacharacter. Use bsearch instead.

This example reads expand the pattern that matches all files in the current directory with a four-character filename having abc as the last three characters, then execute the resulting command.

---

(dbx) ?abc

---

If you use these commands frequently, you may wish to create aliases for them

alias ff=search	find forward
alias fb=bsearch	find backward
