But I don't in Bourne shell, I get smith0.0. So neither construct
works in a portable manner. :(

Hi,
In either version 3.1.17 (SUSE 10) or 3.2.25 (RHEL 5.3), with $DISPLAY
set to :0.0
the following script gives unexpected results.(It works with version
3.0.15 - RHEL4.6) The echo should print out
smith:0.0
instead of
smith 0.0
#!!/bin/bash
dh=smith
oldIFS=$IFS
IFS=:
set $DISPLAY
nd="${dh}:
