Filemanagement

[Michael Wilson]

you could display all the files with cat and a
wildcard and then redirect the output to a new file,
for example:

bash_prompt$ cat *.pgn >> newfile &

this will display all the files ending in .pgn and
redirect the output to a newfile called newfile.pgn,
the & will run it in the background.
