Todd, I am starting to feel like a real dummy. Try as I might, it just will
not fly for me. Would you please put the function in a file (say dummy - for
me). Then execute the following commands and post the results:
cat dummy
chmod 744 dummy
ls -al dummy
./dummy
type -t ged
ged test.file
We should be using the same version of bash
BASH=/bin/bash
BASH_ENV=/root/.bashrc
BASH_VERSINFO=([0]="2" [1]="05b" [2]="0" [3]="1" [4]="release"
[5]="i686-pc-linux-gnu")
BASH_VERSION='2.05b.0(1)-release'
Thank you for the help. Most frustrating that I cannot get it to work. I am
making a silly mistake somewhere, just cannot seem to find it.
