With SKsh 1.3 I used to be able to issue the command: grep "*" s:crontab
to pull out all lines with a "*" character.  Now I get a "grep: invalid 
expresion" error.  I tried quoting the "*" with:  \*  or '*'  but it 
doesn't work!  Could someone please email me the correct incantation?  
I can't seem to find it in the docs.

Thanks in advance,

 - alfredo
