It's wonderful.  Thanks ARP guys.

I do have two little problems, though.  One is the InstallPrinter
script.  It starts with

    .key ""

and AShell considers this an error.  I just changed it ot '.key foo'
and it works OK.

Also,

    echo >> $fname "Put this stuff at the end of file $fname"

where fname is a shell variable doesn't work the way I hoped it would.
It expands the $fname in the string, but not in the >>, so it
adds the string to a file name '$fname'.  Is this a bug or a feature?
Any work arounds?

thanks, lee
