thanks very much.  i played with "expr" on the command line - and
find the following (i sincerely hope i'm not digging my grave here!)
\
echo `expr 6 / 3` results in 2
echo `expr 6 + 3` results in 9
echo `expr 6 - 3` results in 3
echo `expr 6 % 3` results in 0
echo `expr 6 * 3` results in "expr: syntax error"
\
what did i do wrong ??? (2.1.5 - sh)
\
thank you very much ...
