Yes, but bash doesn't allow `30=foo' as a normal assignment whereas zsh does, so I think a different error message here might be better. Something like `identifier not allowed in this context'. Otherwise this is fine --- there's no likelihood of us allowing individual positional parameters to be made local. -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR Ltd., Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WH, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 692070 ********************************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
