Thanks. Much better. I think I only finally internalized how to
introduce newlines in the output with sed a year or two ago. If I
master function groups now, maybe there's hope for someday being able
to use the hold space without visiting one of the sed cheat sheet
sites! (Kind of embarrassing for a guy who first used sed over 40
years ago.)
Are we allowed to use $(...) instead of `...` ? I hate working around
the deficiencies of `...`.
