	Ahh...somehow 'ls /cygdrive' and ls '/proc' both show up 
with entries in them, but an 'ls /dev/' comes back with 
ls: /dev: No such file or directory, so it's not quite as obvious.
	As for proc going in 10 versions ago...well...maybe I just
forgot about it...but just saw someone mention it recently, so
I asked...oh well...
	I'd have alot easier time keeping track of the universe if I just
knew the initial state (and the CVS log of all the state transitions...
:-)).

	Ah...will have to search on it. Sounds useful. My only
wish there was that different windows each had their own TTY identifier.
makes it easier to keep around a finite number of history files that
retain history from the past few sessions. Often I'll forget an exact
command and remember I just used it and rather than reread the man page
and refiguring out the manpage, it's often easier to grep though my
bash history files -- not a reliable means, but an occasional laziness
technique.
