WTM?! James did everything correctly! - he checked our policy. - he discovered the way to break up a long line. "Use a traiiling backslash" is what I was hoping that you would discover if you did a the google searches that I asked you to. - he offered to take care of the patch. > The fact is that it is a "full command line". Unix uses a backslash to break up a long command-line. The resulting lines are parsed just like a "full command line". ls \ -a \ -l \ *.png does exactly the same thing as ls -a -l *.png - Graham _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
