that's what I do. when I've had that error, it actually turns out to be something fantastically stupid like this (I'm pretty sure this was what happened): foo () { # do stuff return } which seemingly has nothing to do with quoting. (that may not be a valid example, I'm pulling it from memory, but it was along those lines and absolutely nothing to do with quotation marks.) chris ------------------------------- Chris Doherty chris [at] randomcamel.net "I think," said Christopher Robin, "that we ought to eat all our provisions now, so we won't have so much to carry." -- A.
