Thanks for the patience. That is not cool (swallowing the first long option), especially since the echo built in to bash continues to work as it has. I also observe this behavior on F8. On the other hand, not emitting the -- seems reasonable, since it generically has the meaning "this signals the end of the options". (And no, that's not how it works anywhere else, including bash and ksh's echo on F8). ______________________________________________________________________ POPT Library http://rpm5.org Developer Communication List [email protected]
