Ideally, I'd like to >find the equivalents of grep and sed in external functions An almost complete 'grep' XFCN and a mostly-crippled version of sed called 'rep' (similar to sed s/re/constant/g) can be ftp'ed from ssyx.ucsc.edu. Source is also available, so you could expand the functionality if you were ambitious. I have heard of a 'sed' XFCN (even had it in binhex form once), but I've never tried it & don't know where I could get another copy. -- ___\ /___ Greg Anderson (6 kyu) ___\ /___ . O .
