Bill, it is a well known fact that the developers of a product are usually the worst at detailing and explaining it to an audience. That is why professional authors who specialize in writing instruction manuals, etcetera exist. The writers working in conjunction with the developers/authors can write excellent documentation when given the necessary resources. Unfortunately, these individuals do not work for free. The irony is that the very basis of FOSS is that it precludes the hiring of the talent required to product high quality documentation. Of course, there is always the "man" page; which as many of us know is an acronym for "much about nothing". This is in no way an attempt to downplay Chet's or anyone elses efforts at creating documentation for "Bash". It is just the nature of the beast. -- Gerard ✌ ger...@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
