Yep: that's what it is. I constructed various test cases for trap but I never noticed that you exec'ed in the script. And that, as you say, means it doesn't run the traps. I feel somewhat happier now I understand *why* they're not being run. The puzzlement (and the tmp directories) were gettig to me :-) // Conrad
