Okay.. okay.. okay ... Y'all can stop calling me a youngster, and where do I turn in my wizards badge anyway?? I must say, however, that steve@nuchat.sccsi.com (Steve Nuchia) gets the (erm) award for the most succinct answer. Namely: "./$x". (Geez, this is as stupid as the "how do I remove a file whose name starts with '-' question... (ANSWER: use ./-file)). If you don't mind I'll go to a corner and punish myself by learning something about DOS. <- David Herron <david@twg.com> (work) <david@davids.mmdf.com> (home) <- <- During the '80s Usenet's mantra was: "Not all the world's a VAX". <- During the '90s I hope it becomes: "Not all the world's DOS (ick)".
