Thanks!  But I wonder, does the colon really belong there?  If so,
what does it do?  Will this work under all common shells (sh, ksh,
bash, zsh, csh, tcsh)?

I hasitate to use a script with no shebang line, because I'm so
used to it always being present in a script, but if I don't really
need it, then I guess I can do without.
