Aha, I was thinking of the `jobs' example, which does seem to be asking for the list of possiblities to be altered (though if you don't mind the list of numbers at the end you could do it that way, too). It's easy to get -X to substitute a variable, too, when it has a $ in front, but maybe it would be preferable to have double-quoted expansion instead? That might break some older explanations. -- Peter Stephenson Tel: +39 50 911239 WWW: http://www.ifh.de/~pws/ Gruppo Teorico, Dipartimento di Fisica Piazza Torricelli 2, 56100 Pisa, Italy
