I've never seen the $() construct either. > And what is the ". $d/$f" supposed to do?? > Again, from man 1 bash: . filename [arguments] source filename [arguments] Read and execute commands from filename in the curĀ rent shell environment and return the exit status of the last command executed from filename... It simply executes those files as a shell script. Peter -------------------------------------------------- Peter D.
