Subject: Re: is there any clever way of doing 'read' in rc scripts?

Hi,

The simple `{head -1} can then be wrapped into
fn read {
head -1
}

and used like this
var = `read

There are probably snags. Please let me know when you find them. (Is this
so simple that it wouldn't fit in the rc library?)

Best Wishes, Bengt
