rm>     Ok, but you should not include the full line in your pattern.

I vaguely remember that matching the whole line is a requirement
for standard tags files.  I'll have to check that again.

rm>     In other words, instead of
rm>     /^abcd=: [-]$/
rm>     (which will never match)

Yepp, I understand that.  (I regularly  ps ax | grep '[n]ame'.)

rm>     use
rm>     /^abcd=:/

... or /^abcd=:.*$/ or insert \ before magic characters.
Anyway - thanks for pointing the bug out!
