There are other tricks you have to :play on that shell to get these scripts to work. That's odd -- if you have unexpanded tildes in your environment, I wonder how you get system, popen, and execlp to work without changing the C library. --tom -- "Hey, did you hear Stallman has replaced /vmunix with /vmunix.el?
