My assumption was that the set -vx didn't get inherited by the subshells, but my understanding would appear to be false, I guess $() isn't really a subshell ... Given this, I can't really complain about the way zsh is behaving, although as you point out maybe it should be changed to be compatible in behaviour with ksh. -- Daniel Dignam, mailto:daniel@edsug.com Assemblies Development Phone: +44 1223-371591 EDS Unigraphics FAX: +44 1223-316931 http://www-sdl.ug.eds.com/ug_assemblies.html
