I was afraid you meant that. =8~) My three scripts are executed
interactively. To my knowledge there can be only one script in a file.
=8~| By defining chell functions, all three are in .bashrc. =8~)

OK, my first stage follows. ~/MY/ is an SD card. This Backup is
executed when I finish editing something or finish enough editing that
I wouldn't want to retype it after the flash store fails. It merely
syncs from ~/MY/ into ~/MY0.Bak or, if executed with any parameter, to
~/MY1.Bak. Then it reports the size of MailMessages and the current size
of the backup. Subdirectories, logs, voice messages, installer archives
and similar non-essential data are excluded. Definitely more
primitive than your backup. Comments welcome of course.
The further two functions put the backup on a DVD-R. Done once per
week or less depending on competing "essential" work, fatigue & etc. Can
discuss these stages 2 and 3 later.
Thanks, ... Peter E.
