As suspected, there was a loose nut between the seat and the keyboard. The empty output of "echo $IFS" misled me into thinking that IFS was unset. I see now that "echo" does not display the values of bash shell variables. One can grep the output of "set" to find them: bash$ echo $IFS bash$ set | grep IFS IFS=, Thanks, Chris /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
