Subject: exec-ing a function
Date: Thu, 18 Mar 1993 11:39:17 -0500 [thread overview]

This may be old hat to some, but after some confusion I have just
discovered that one can `exec' a function. Perhaps a sentence in the
manual page would save others confusion.
Incidentally, I had an observing run at the Kitt Peak National
Observatory a couple of weeks ago. Modern observing is not especially
fun -- you basically sit at a computer for 16h each night. After a few
minutes with csh, I went looking in /etc/shells for the alternatives,
and to my pleasant surprise found rc (but, interestingly, neither ksh,
tcsh, zsh, or bash). The Good News is spreading!
Alan.
