Hmmmmm, I hadn't come across that in bash before, and it doesn't work in
bash 1.14.7(1), which is wat I've got; I get, variously, nothing or 'bad
substitution'. But then I haven't upgraded bash in a long time on my system.
If this is now the meaning of ${...}, then how do you now express things like:
${FILENAME_PREFIX}filename.typ
where
$FILENAME_PREFIXfilename.typ
will try to use the wrong variable?

Yes, someone else has pointed this out, also. I was not suggesting that kill
-9 was the way to go, but I was just taking the script sent to the list and
modifying it in this particular.
