Here's something I don't see covered in the docs -- is it possible to override the noclobber variable when doing output redirection with >&? I've tried the obvious permutations of ! and | with it, but just get syntax errors. Never mind, I just answered my own question. It appears >&\! will do the trick. Perhaps this should be documented. Thanks to the workers for an amazing shell program. -- Paul Ackersviller
