As a definite unix newbie this was a great tip -- thanks!
Much nicer than opening files in pico... :) In testing it I found a ".bash_history" file which I didn't even know existed!
BTW thanks to the Cyberduck tip posted a few weeks ago, I'm now editing files via SFTP in TextMate; works like a charm.
Hmmm... I ssh into a remote server frequently; if I add the "tm ()..." command to my .bash_profile remotely will TM open it during the ssh session? That would really save time... I'll try.

I just have this in my .bash_profile: tm () { open -a TextMate.app "$*"; }
It allows me to type »tm some_file« to edit that file. There was a script which also allowed to edit stdin, it's on the wiki AFAIK.
