The read command is supposedly a shell builtin. Strangely enough, the first time I tried the example given with ksh, I got the exact same response. However on later attempts, I got what was expected. I find this odd. /bin/sh and bash both handle this just fine. I can't speak for ksh, but maybe its time to switch to a different shell? neal __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y!
