IMO, the current wording is already good. Some months ago I decided to get initiated into Bash, and so I hit the Bash reference manual. The part under debate was not confusing for me. As Chet said in the other e-mail, it would be best for the OP to first point out which words got them wrong the first time they read it before we even try to fix the wording. -- Best regards, Tadeus
