If you look closely it's the executable for /bin/true

You can make a "true" executable from the empty file, too, not just
from the empty shell script. e.g.:
> bash$ touch truetest; chmod +x truetest; ./truetest && echo "true" &&\
rm truetest
> true

58 was the start of an explanation of las (as well as -xxx) but
there were too many variables as to when each/either works/doesn;t work
between ft adn bbs but it got WAY messy so i thought i cancelled it
by having an empty reponse (no chars) but it seems that ft and bbs
handle empty differently as well. no biggie, just quirks all aorund.

LAS is the acronym for the Las Vegas airport.

in bbs - but not ft - the las command at the rfp prompte
displays the last response. there are quirks with it but in general
that is how it works.

Note that it's really the "last" command. It just accepts shortened
versions, including "las" or even "l", but if you try to talk about
"the l command" nobody will know wtf you are talking about, and if you
change it to "the l word" things get even worse.

So I made some changes to fronttalk today....
1) I incorporated bellstar's changes to add a 'respond' command at the Ok:
prompt.
2) I made 'l' work as a synonym for "last" at the RFP prompt. So, "l", "la",
"las", "last" and "$" all do the same thing there.
