I could have sworn there was something there but I looked and also didn't see it. I'll add a note in the section on automatic variables. The answer is, automatic variables are only defined within the scope of the command script, they are not defined within the scope of the prerequisites list. This is the way make has always worked for 20+ years, and in fact it's required by POSIX. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
