Isn't portable shell > programming fun? Sorry that this has taken so long, but I'm just getting around to adding all the fixes emailed wrt /etc/profile. I tried the above, and it broke so I checked the man pages, <quote> `echo' writes each given STRING to standard output, with a space between each and a newline after the last one. Synopsis: echo [OPTION]... [STRING]... The program accepts the following options. Also see *Note Common options::. Options must precede operands, and the normally-special argument `--' has no special meaning and is treated like any other STRING. </quote> so, I'm afraid that echo -- "${0}" won't work.
