(Actually, I don't see the use of having > it at all) >=20 >=20 Nirbheek, You will have a persistent profile across shells and you can change it. (This one requires sourcing). A capability of having a profile per folder (like a folder .uselect per profiled folder) was discussed previously in these lists. (Actually prior to the start of SoC) I still consider this a great feature. You changedir, you call uprofile, and voila, new profile. You login again, default profile.
