[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 807884, member: 71075"] If you are using tab to finish commands, you shouldn't have to worry about entering the escaping slashes between words - it will be done for you. You can also put the command in quotations and not worry about having to use an escaping slash: [CODE]open "/Applications/Aquamacs Emacs.app"[/CODE]That will work just as well. Just to add to scathe, the tilde (~) signifies your user (home) directory. It saves having to type /Users/<username> every time. Just in case you didn't know. [/QUOTE]
