no, that's something else, ie part of the 'set' command. it sb right at the beginning under 'Options' between '-s' & '-D' & shd say '-x Print commands and their arguments as they are executed'. responding to the other comment, i'll see if i can send in a bug, but wdn't it be simpler if the relevant developer reads this & fixes it ? thanx, as always, for developers' volunteer efforts. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
