Perhaps shar file posters should include the above suggestion in the descriptive info of shar file postings, eh? P.S.: I still think that "w|sh" is easier. -- Steve Vance {dual,nsc,intelca,proper}!qantel!stv Qantel Corporation, Hayward, CA

The problem with either "w|sh" or "|sed '1,/cut/d'|sh" is that you aren't
likely to be in the correct directory. Rn chdirs all over the place for
efficiency reasons. You'd probably have to say something like
"w|(cd DIR; sh)". If you want it in the directory you ran rn in, for
instance, you'd have to say "w|(cd %O; sh)".
