First, thanks for not top posting. This is much better. | no. a discussion thread can have multiple points. Of course, but that is not what I meant. By "the point" I did not mean the point of the thread as such (as this would not be it, as the original question needed a different answer) but when it gets to "how to do this" the point is to provide a reasonable answer. | since the bash FAQ is dismissing a valuable technique, | one that ought to be more widely adopted. That is where we disagree. I don't think it is valuable at all, and shouldn't be adopted at all. That is, I think the FAQ is correct. And we know that you disagree with that, there is no need to repeat it over and over. kre
