The problem is, the information is a string, which is inserted into the input stream. In other words, if I _echo_ a string, the screen returns another string as *input*. I would like to get hold of that string. How do I do it? (in csh, if possible) Thanks, -- Magnus -- Magnus euakem@euas10.ericsson.se
