I use:

lng=`{echo $here(2) | sed -e 's/^-(.*)/+\1/' -e 's/^([0-9])/-\1/'}

Because double negatives (--) don't seem to cut it in the URL :-)
I imagine there's a better way, but rc programming is not my strong
suit.  And I can't test now the simplification that drops the \1 from the first term.

I got caught by the fact that the space after -e is mandatory (why?)
and the first \1 belongs to me trying to figure out what I was doing
wrong.
