Hi Shawn,
I notice you type "clear" a lot in your tech tips. Here's a tip for you: ^L (CTRL-L) will clear the screen and save you some typing.

Another advantage of using this method is that you can clear the screen even if you have already started typing a command. Your typed characters will be preserved, but the screen will have cleared.

Hope you find that useful.

nice tip
