I have rh7.1 installed on my PC that has a regular PC key board. When issuing combined commands, such as ps -ef | grep netscape, Unix key board allows to us a vertical bar between the two commands, but there is no vertical bar key on PC key board. Could anyone tell me how tell me how to solve this problem?
