I think the /bin/sh (BSD) interpretation sequence goes something like this :- a. Read input and parse b. Check for verbose trace c. Substitute Parameters d. Command Substitution (`s) e. I/O redirection f. IFS processing g. expand meta-chars h. Execution trace i. Env. processing j. Execve the command. What I would really like to know is: how different is the csh interpretation sequence ? Can any wiz/guru enlighten me here ? Martin.
