I quite understand.  It is unique HERE, and that's what lead me to think it was in a category all it's own.  I was wrong.  I get it now. Roman: > When you need to see a specific representation, you should not use `typeset -p` and instead arrange for your preferred representation to be produced explicitly. Exactly. But as I said, I want to display the types too, and had hoped it would be possible, but it isn't so that's that. But now that I know exactly how the scalar is created and what it must look like, the problem becomes trivial -- replace spaces with colons. My big error was thinking the tied names were just basically aliases for exactly the same array so PATH path *seemed* like a special case. Dunno, it was just a post-mortem on where I went astray. I've wasted enough of your time on this.
