Well, yes. That will work, too. Better yet, it is immune to the differences between shells. Simpler is often better. :-) I had hoped my explanation would lead to a better understanding of how the shell processes these things (and hopefully provide some incentive to read the man pages). After all, give a man a fish and he is fed for a day. Teach a man to fish and he is fed for life. Paul A.
