I had problems with the invocation script of the opera web-browser. The reason was that when invoked via opera -remote openURL(...,...) this script gets the TWO parameters -remote and openURL(...,...) and concatenates these to a SINGLE parameter like '-remote openURL(...,...)' and passed this to the true opera binary. This didn't work ofcourse. I replaced this with 'pushing' the arguments to the script onto an array and expanded this when calling the true binary. Unfortunately ancient shells (like on Sun) don't have arrays. Does anybody know a means to achieve what I intend such that it's running on ancient shells?
