The backslash is a quote character. Using a quote (which could also be a single- or double-quote character) tells the shell to not expand symbols in the here-document. It's likely that your shell is not treating that backslash as a quote. I'd try replacing it with a single-quote. -- T.E.Dickey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
