If a bug can actually be pinpointed and demonstrated, I'm sure Chet would care. My problem with this thread is that I can't make any sense of the original bug report at all. It's too convoluted. Just write a simple two- or three-line demonstration of the problem. Or better still, describe what the goal is. "I have some code in a file which defines aliases, and I want to use those in my script" -- well then, simply source that file.
