(I am putting this command into a shell script.) If I use the command... echo '=@'H8' ...it thinks the string to be echo'd ends at the second ' If I use the command... echo '=@\'H8' ...it sees the \ as a character, thus moving the the wrong cursor position (this is a terminal plotting command). Any ideas? SN -- O- /\ |\ /\/vv\ /vv\ \ __Insight from Oregon...Scott P. Nichols _____/ \ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (nichols@en.ecn.purdue.edu)
