I have never used all the fancy stuff in BASH such as the arithmetic functions; I still use "expr" etc for portability. My favourite shell is still ZSH (the alternative was CSH, and my views on that POS are well known) because I started using it long before BASH, and even then I use a fraction of its power. I did dabble with KSH, though (I needed command editing and history). -- Dave
