Sorry but I feel I must respond to this as you were somewhat missing the point.

1 - The individual I was responding to was making no effort to help - moron, labotomy, interesting chemicals etc - he was just being offensive. Now as he's not standing next to me - albeit briefly - I felt I HAD to respond in kind. Far from being juvenile, though not Jewish I firmly believe in an "eye for an eye" and don't give me the rebuttal about the world going blind as a result because that misses the fundamental point and I'm no prozletizer.

2 - Anyone who responded without being abusive, and did answer my question I'm very very grateful to. (Whichever respondee's advice I have taken I've thanked personally - as I usually do).

3 - Written in UNIX, well isn't that in fact a shorthand way of saying a shell script? It is around my office ; what difference does it make which shell it's written in as far as my question was concerned anyway? The Korn or Bourne or any other shell type is actually irrelevant and any such grumble ia a bit picky/petty.

Perhaps if you are abused by some coward you can happily laugh it off and that's fine for you - I wouldn't criticise. I was brought up in a very rough neighbourhood and at a young age it was beaten into me that you let noone stand on you - EVER. Sad to say but lessons learnt early seldom leave you. I didn't take any offence at your remarks and I hope you take non at mine but I felt I had to respond. As someone once said " You are what you is" .
Cheers,
Ronnie
