Interesting; I can't find such behavior specified in the man page for BASH, so I wonder where would such "documented" behavior actually be documented? And why do you say that it's the "normal, expected" behavior? Or do you mean that it's what YOU regard as normal and what YOU expect? I'm not exactly a newbie but I confess that I didn't expect this (though in retrospect I guess I can see some logic in it) and I don't know (authoritatively) what's "normal"... _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
