All:

I'm trying to get some functions to accept piped input:

func ()
{
...
read -t input
echo "$input to a summer's day?"
...
}

$ echo "Shall I compare thee" | func

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

...
All good. However if 'set -F' is active before 'func' is called  or even 
it it's set just before the 'read -t input'
then nothing is readed. Why is that? I thought 'set -F' was just to 
prevent glob expansions. Can it be fixed?

Tx.
