If I type less Cats, and then \&, it works, but > without the \ in front of the &, the shell gets stuck in D state. Typing & gives the shell and the fs some work to do. The "&" ends one command and starts a new one (similiar to ";") so typing nothing more after "&" and pressing makes the shell search the entire path and consider all the commands available. (Press tab some more times and see the list, 2078 possibilities in my case. :-) This sort of thing can easily take some time (in D state) if your PATH includes network drives. Helge Hafting
