Why do you keep harping on this, despite everything we've said? Again, the fact that your shell only has one variable that "typeset -p" displays this way is incidental; you could create more any time you want. Imagine if I were trying to open some files in a text editor, but they all looked like gibberish except one, and then I confidently concluded that the editor must be treating that one file specially instead of considering that maybe I had only one text file. >> These scalar variables are tied, exported, >> and special: >> >> PATH >> MANPATH > > Here: MANPATH is: 'typeset -T' like several others. If you were to set it in a typical way... export MANPATH=3D/one/path:/another/path:/a/third/path ...then it would display as PATH does. --=20 vq
