Thank you, thank you, thank you!  Between notes and email, I now have
the answers I requested.

The reply from Finland, quoted below, gave the crucial clue.

That's exactly what I tried, and I had some typed notes that said that
it worked a few months ago, but it failed now.  Problem:  I switched
from Bourne to csh a while back and didn't know about the need to use
the -f option.

BTW, I'm using hp-UX 6.5 on an HP 330.
