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 ...
