Hello from Gregg C Levine
I did what you suggested Igor. Now I'm getting:
bash: command substitution: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for
matching `"
'
bash: command substitution: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file

It also says that:
/tmp/mc-Gregg: Can't open /tmp/mc-Gregg: No such file or directory

That from trying to browse a BZIP2 compressed tar file. This is also part of
my original complain.
Did I cause that, by changing something? What can I do to prevent it?
