You're assuming recent systems. There are still plenty of systems out there where this isn't necessarily the case. As stated previously, it's common practice for people to use "#!/bin/sh" regardless of the shell actually providing that file. What /bin/sh is on your system is probably different than on my system which is probably different than what is on someone's AIX system, etc. Individual distributions of OSes may let a default since they have control over the common configuration. I have to agree with Chip here that the upstream version should default to Bourne as that is most likely to cause people to actually configure the highlighting to work properly for the variant of /bin/sh that *they* are using. -- James GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
