I'll let you into a secret: it wasn't a "good" solution back when it was added to the Bourne shell; the only saving grace then was that shell scripts were rarely longer than a page, so it didn't matter as much. I've just run a test in Bash v1.14.7 and (not unexpectedly) "set -e" had the same effect there. -Martin
