Thanks! If you were to compare all recordings, you'll see I struggled with 
'UNIX shell for loop' 'bash for loop' etc. I agree that I am using the bash 
shell for loop construct and that I could have consistently said that. Luckily, 
the videos are not so much about what is being taught, but how...
