Ah, OK. I'll have to take a look again, because it seemed to me there were places where the spaces were ignored. That may have been a misperception on my part though. For clarification (and since you don't have TSG handy), I was indicating putting "C shell" after the Celsius entry (I can't write it here, but it is a degree symbol followed by a "C" sort of like *C), because there is nothing written after the C (C comes before C<space>). Calling it the Celsius entry is a little misleading if you can't look at it in TSG. So, I'm guessing the order should be: *C C shell Celsius Centigrade Does that sound right?

Scratch my previous comment, as I can't think of seeing it being used this way with a non-trademarked term. Rainer This message posted from opensolaris.org
