ahh forgot about that. i didn't realize the freebsd version was ash and
not the real bourne shell (at least looking through the source code it
looks like it's 'ash').  ash is on some linux machines as well (debian
i'm pretty sure).

isn't the korn shell open source now, or is it just free as in beer?

in any event i guess we're getting _really_ off topic now :>
