I'd use "sed -e '1,6s/^/#/'" -- "on lines one through six, replace start-of-line with a pound sign". You'd need to go through the normal sed contortions to make it replace the original files, though. You could also use "sed -e 1,6d" or "tail +7" to discard the first six lines. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
