Ever sat there looking at your home directory and wondered just what the blazes
half those files were about? :-)

alias toc='head -v $(find ./ -type f -maxdepth 1) | less'

(bash2)

This brings up what is basically a table of contents for the directory
you are in.

To do any operations on the files you run across, just hit "!" and you are
at the prompt while still within less.

Crude but very useful.

Anyone else got any little 'tricks' that make running Unix more
efficient and pleasant?
