To my everlasting surprise, I was swallowed alive and am now waiting for the digestive juices to dissolve me. It's quite warm and comfortable here. Perhaps I always had this desire to re- turn to the womb-at. That's not the problem. In my hurry to do away with my- self -- after having for the 127th time, tried to explain why a system such as Unix with its terrible human factors remains so popular -- I quite neglected to write my will. Fortunately the in-wombat vi works as well as the ex-wombat version and I am making excellent progress. This leads to my specific problem however: Is it possible to invoke sp from within wombat? [Please do not send me any shell scripts. I said "wombat,", not "armadillo."] --Submitted by the fumbling fingers of dick wexelblat Note: replies will be scorned.
