Dave:

Thanks for the reply (smiled on the "weird problem symptoms" summation).

The result is:
+++
type make; which -a make
make is aliased to `settitle Making $(basename $PWD) && make "$@"'
/usr/bin/make
/usr/bin/make
+++

I groaned when I saw this as it is obvious the $(PWD) is feeding 
basename and that's the "make" error. Thanks.

However, I am still trying to understand why this potentially incorrect 
alias is creating text output to the screen which can't be redirected as 
it isn't stdout or stderr ... or "3/4/5" as someone suggested I test.

Paul
