This appears to be undocumented in BSD4.2. The hint is in the _x_. I presumed (and my manual agreed), that it returns true for Hex digits, i.e. 0-9, a-f & A-F, and false for any othe argument. It IS documented in our IS/3 manual, and in the PC/IX manual as well. Geoffrey Kimbrough -- INTERACTIVE Systems Corp. ima!ism780!geoff
