Thanks! But I wonder, does the colon really belong there? If so, what does it do? Will this work under all common shells (sh, ksh, bash, zsh, csh, tcsh)? I hasitate to use a script with no shebang line, because I'm so used to it always being present in a script, but if I don't really need it, then I guess I can do without.
