Thanks for clarifying the parameter space. For my purposes either of the first 2 options would work, but my only use of DEBUGhas been to muck with terminal state this way, so possibly users of DEBUG withless-visible side-effects would prefer it to stay as-is. Not sure if such usages exist orhow to trade-off the use-cases against each other. Of course, an alternative approach would be to enhance bash with a nativefacility for coloring emitted command-lines, to obviate the need for DEBUG in this context. Cheers, -a
