I like the idea of seq using user-specified sequence of characters (though this brings it's own issues), But my goal was to provide an easy way to generate letters in many languages - if the user has to type them explicitly, then seq is no better than "printf '%s\n' " followed by all the letters typed by the user... What do you think? I'm still working on an improved patch with much more efficient storage. Hope to have it in a week or so. Regards, - gordon
