They're line breaks, and are needed if you copy/paste, or if you hit the <enter> key after each line. What you pasted in your earlier email was missing the \'s. Either way, I think it is the cause of your "missing separator" error.
The \'s should be in the configparms file, unless you use one long line. They're not for your shell, they're for Make(1). The shell ignores them, and adds them to the configparms file, because they're between the single quotes of the echo(1) command. robert On Saturday July 28 2007 10:07:02 am [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Just to confirm, are you saying that all the '\' need to be included as > part of the code ? > > I was of the impression they were there to signify line breaks and not to > be actually typed. > > Regards, > > Steve.
