aha did it without the $ and it worked. Now: I have edited all instances of achilles to my new hostname (tranquillity) and I ran the shell command again. Now I get all the same files as before come up except with ~ at the end. What does the ~ mean? I tried to edit these files but was informed that the 'buffer is read only' Cheers Tendril -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
