I think Ehud wins today's golden biskit award: he discerned that I needed to put something IN script "A" which would capture the shell stdout WHILE EXECUTING SCRIPT "A". If I read them right, everyone else would have required that I split out the part to be debugged into a separate script. If I could get rxvt working for me, with its deep buffer, I suppose I wouldn't need this. At 6/19/01 11:58 AM (Tuesday), Ehud Karni wrote: >On Mon, 18 Jun 2001 11:46:39 -0400, David A.
