I too am always looking to 'systematize' work, not only because I need efficiency, but because I hate having to learn things twice... Nothing bugs me more than knowing that I need to figure out how to do something I figured out 6 months or a year ago. Actually, I highly recommend a Mac program called Yojimbo, that is a kind of general purpose memory tool. You can throw all sorts of information into it, and find it very easily when you need it. Fantastic program and I don't know of anything like it on other platforms. Anyway, I'm definitely going to throw your entire email, particularly the template, into Yojimbo as saved knowledge. I am working on an important script right now, and I'm going to put your template to immediate use. I'll also take a look at the korn shell. I've used bash for many years, but I'm not in love with it. I'm certainly open to a better shell. Great post. Thanks! -- John
