Hello Netters, I have a need for a simple shell procedure that replaces
a command line like :

program < datafile.in > datafile.out

So that all I have to do is type:

shellprocedure datafile

And the shell procedure will append the suffix ".in" (if the filename
passed to the script doesn't already have it) and also append an
".out" to the filename used for the redirected output.

Thanks
