Does anyone know of a reasonable way to get a csh command-line argument into a psh script? Specifically, I'd like to have a csh alias to a PostScript program which can use arguments following the alias. I can generally find a workaround, but it'd be nice to have a clean method. _____________________________________________________________________________ / \ | Dave Schweisguth 5386 Yale Station 203-436-2694 | | schdavz@yalevm.ycc.yale.edu New Haven, CT 06502-5386 | \_____________________________________________________________________________/

In your psh script simply refer to $1, $2 etc. wherever you want to refer to a command line argument. Make sure the first line of the script is #!/usr/NeWS/bin/psh and make it executable. Then if you execute a script "foo", for example, as "foo bar", anywhere your PostScript references $1 it would be replaced by "bar". -- From the TARDIS of Mark Callow msc@ramoth.sgi.com, ...{ames,decwrl}!sgi!msc "Spirits of genius are always opposed by mediocre minds" - Albert Einstein
