Good example. But I cannot figure out how ELSE to use this feature
with awk. How can I create a t.awk that contains an awk script,
and make it executable? 

That is, in file t.awk, I have

	#!/bin/awk -f t.awk

No matter what I try, I get the "bailing out near line 1" error.

And could someone explain to me why the first line isn't treated as a
comment within the awk script?
