. Next: FSRQs Up: THE DEEP X-RAY RADIO Previous: Redshift Distribution . DXRBS' unique combination of a dual X-ray/radio survey method and high sensitivity has opened up important, large new regions of parameter space for both blazar sub-classes, within which a large fraction of our sample (nearly 50%) lie. This section is devoted to discussing these discoveries and their impact upon our understanding of the blazar class. љ . FSRQs . BL Lacs . Paolo Padovani . 1/5/1998

The following are useful tcsh completions I use, which should mostly be fairly standard for any unix platform, so you can just drop them into place. # directories complete cd 'C/*/d/' complete rmdir 'C/*/d/' complete lsd 'C/*/d/' # signal names # also note that the initial - can be created with the first completion # but without appending a space (note the extra slash with no # append character specified) ...
