For the sake of discussion, we'll call this script: sign. Just change the "$*" to "$@" and it'll behave even more like a spiffed up version of banner. (Do you see the difference? If we left it as banner "$*" [thanks for using the quotes, most people seem to forget them], then: sign @ "This is" "3 lines" "of info." would cause output like: banner "This is 3 lines of info." with the #s replaced by @s, thusly: @@@@@@@ @@@@@ @ @ @ @ @@@@ @ @@@@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @@@@@@ @ @@@@ @ @@@@ @@@@@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @@@@ @ @@@@ @@@@@ INSTEAD OF what was originally intended: banner "This is" "3 lines" "of info." with the #s replaced by @s, which I won't reproduce here.
