Actually, to be honest, no :-). Thanks for the pointer and I have
commented my .bashrc file to remind me when I eventually do get
around to upgrading. Not that it will bother me personally because I
seldom run into DOS style files and never shell scripts. - I was just
curious and hoping to learn something.
It's no wonder I couldn't find the ignrc option - it doesn't exist in
my version. :-)
Also, as per Larry Hall, it hurls on linux, solaris and I didn't try
any others.
Thanks again.
Jim Easton
