I cannot find the new mailing address for rc. Could someone please
enlighten me ?
I had a question about assignment to $* during function execution that
was bugging me. In particular:
fn a { $1 = x; echo $*} doesn't work, though I don't see any reason why
$* cannot be assigned to just like all the other variables.
Hope this doesn't bounce.
Gun.

$1 is unassignable-to because it's a fake variable; it's really $*(1),
and you can't assign to sepperate array elements. It might be an error
for rc to not complain. You can assign to $* wholesale, either replacing
or augmenting it; I've done this on occasion.
