Aha. So what does echo use? When I type "/bin/echo foo bar" at the prompt, it's also the shell that hands over the line to echo, and it does that after splitting the lines into words - so where is the difference? (I see it, it's on my screen, but why?) Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer
