Re: Sorting file names randomly

    Hi Bart :)

    Just a clarification...

    When I asked you about special shell parameters in my last
message, I was talking exactly of the '+h' option to typeset. I just
missed the '+h' in the example, I didn't remember about 'hiding'.

    Anyway my question is still valid: can you do any valid
modification (not only -Z, but -L, -R, etc., -i, -E, -F...) to them
or every special parameter has its own constraints?

    Thanks :)
