Ok.  I get it.  As an aside,

Is that notation bounre shell?  Or is
that something else?  I realize it looks like 
you're asking for a subshell to be spawned, 
then the ipmask command to be evaluated, and 
the result returned, but why not

  `ipmask -c $IPADDR`

I'm not sure I see why (command) would return
a memory address leading to your need to 
dereference it with a $ to get it's value, but
I don't want to get into learning ksh or something
else if it's not bourne at this time.

Thanks,
Matt
